Featured Employee

Lily is Employee of the Month for September 2007

Interview by Lynda Olander


Always moving and wearing that great smile, Lily is busy in the Barrel Breakdown department.


PPC: How long have you worked from Precision?
LR: I started here in 2000 as a Racker/Inspector on the second shift. I did that for two years.

PPC: What was your next job here?
LR: When EN (Electrolysis Nickel) Department started, I moved to that department. It was new and exciting. Then I was transferred to Barrel Breakdown. I like it a lot.

PPC: Tell us a little about your typical day.
LR: We receive the orders directly from the Receiving Department. We verify the count of the parts received and break them down into their load size. Then we deliver the parts to the appropriate line. When needed, we assist with inspection. After the parts are plated, we pack them and cut the packing slips that travel to the customer with the order. This keeps all of us very busy; there is no time to sit around in our department. We keep the work flowing.

PPC: Do you ever think of any other positions that you would like at PPC?
LR: Well, I am told that I am very picky. I think I would like to work in the Q.A. department, helping Sylvia or something like that. There are other jobs here that interest me, but I would need more schooling. I like to learn new things.

PPC: What other things do you like about working here?
LR: I love the picnics, my kids really enjoy it. I like the Circle contests and I participate every issue. So far, I’ve won three times. I think Precision is a really cool environment. Everyone is friendly.

PPC: And after work?
LR: I’m a good mother to my three girls – Katherine (8), Alexandra (3) and my “miracle baby” Emily (2). My husband, Alberto, also works at a plating company (chrome plating) in the Environmental Treatment area, so we have lots to talk about. We are all very active; we love the summer, the park and going to movies.

PPC: Any other hobbies?
LR: I love to cook, my specialty is Mexican Enchiladas. I also like to read romantic soap opera books, tear-jerkers!
