Graduates with Clark Associates

While I was still attending Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, I went to a job fair held at WebstaurantStore building in Lititz. Shortly after arriving, I was taken on a company tour where I quickly realized that WebstaurantStore was at the top of my list of companies to work for. I applied and accepted a job as a Site Reliability Engineer in the Web Operations department and began my work shortly thereafter. Working at WebstaurantStore continues to be an incredibly rewarding experience. Each day, I face new challenges, new opportunities, and new ways to contribute in meaningful ways.

My job also comes with awesome perks. We have a gym, ping pong tables, pool tables, full restaurant size kitchen, monthly birthday lunches, and amazing coworkers. What I love most about working here is that my job doesn't feel like work but rather a place of continued education. I come into work each day prepared to learn new technologies and ready to solve problems. WebstaurantStore is the gem in the rough of employment opportunities and one I wouldn't recommend missing out on!

I graduated from Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in May 2010 and started working at WebstaurantStore in July 2015. WebstaurantStore was a whole new environment for me after previously working in the printing industry for five years, and I immediately discovered that this is a great company to work for. Being a Digital Content Specialist entails day-to-day site updates; such as fixing grammatical errors, updating new item features, and making sure, overall, that our site is as accurate and easy to navigate as possible.

My career as a Digital Content Specialist was exactly what I was looking for, considering my love for computers and working behind the scenes of a big operation. Being employed by WebstaurantStore gives me exciting new challenges every day as well as on-the-job training. I also have the opportunity to give back to the community by volunteering and donating to charitable organizations. Factoring in all the training and incentives this company provides for their employees, I know that I have made the right move into a great career!

I graduated from Stevens with a degree in Graphic Communications and Printing Technology in 2008 and joined Clark Associates as Lead Designer in the beginning of 2012. Before coming to Clark I was presented with opportunities to become experienced in several aspects of the graphic design industry. It was during this time that my hands-on education from Stevens allowed me to excel and grow in every area that I pursued whether it was creating banners, signs, and vehicle graphics for a local sign shop or developing custom decorated glassware programs for big brands such as Boelter, Pottery Barn, and Williams Sonoma.

The company’s professional and fast-paced atmosphere, intelligent co-workers and continued growth have made this a rewarding career choice. Clark invests heavily in great people and technology and provides ample pathways for success. In 2017 I was promoted to Design Manager and now oversee our design team in addition to recruiting and onboarding. I work closely with the marketing manager and our graphic designers to execute designs for our private label brands, weekly email blasts, monthly sales flyers, trade show and banner graphics, brochures, and much more. Needless to say the wide variety of projects keeps us busy and our designs constantly evolving. I look forward to growing our department in the years to come.

I graduated from Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in the spring of 2005 with an Associate's degree in Graphic Design and Printing Technology. I worked in the printing and pre-press industry for 11 years before I found myself at WebstaurantStore. My friends had spoken highly of the company and how well they take care of their employees, and they were right! From cookouts to lunches, game days, and contests, WebstaurantStore keeps their employees engaged with all kinds of activities.

Comradery and teamwork thrive within these walls. Innovation and forward thinking are at the forefront of every decision made and every problem solved. WebstaurantStore embodies everything needed to foster a positive work environment and a sustainable future. Because of these things, I look forward to coming to work every day. It's very exciting knowing you're part of something great, and what we have here at WebstaurantStore is certainly great! I'm very thankful for what we have and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my wife since she's the one who encouraged me to apply!
