Get To Know Us
There is a sense of community that exists between our team members. New friendships are formed, mutual respect is earned, and the feeling of belonging to a group that shares a common bond permeates the atmosphere. But don’t take our word for it. See what some of our employees have to say.
I come from 20 years in the automotive industry. I’ve only been here a relatively short time, but my transition to Abel Womack has been seamless and a great fit for my skills acquired in the automotive field. As a single dad of two teens, Abel has been more than understanding and accommodating in my need for a better work/home balance. Managing my accounts and taking care of their needs is satisfying and further grows the management experience I’ve brought from the automotive industry. The family at Abel Womack is supportive of my long-term goals. The skill and professionalism of everyone around me have eased my transition into this new chapter in life.
I’m looking forward to my future with my newfound work family and further development of my skills with all the innovations and opportunities this industry offers!!
Twenty-one years ago I started my career with Abel Womack as a temp in the Service Department. Shortly thereafter, I was offered a permanent position and then, was promoted to my current position. I’m still here because I really enjoy what I do and who I work with. The people make this company a great place to work because they genuinely care.
I have been here at Abel Womack for just over two years. When I saw the open position of HR Assistant, I knew I would be the perfect fit. I could apply the knowledge I already had but also grow my skillset and passion for HR.
We truly do have a unique culture within the company and it’s very rare to find and keep, especially considering how much we have grown over the last year. We do maintain a small family like feel here and I make it my goal to connect with every candidate and potential employee on some level. When you can apply that personal “touch” prior to the candidate becoming an employee, I think it sets the tone and the mindset of who we are as an organization. I was recently promoted to HR Specialist and look forward to watching the continued success of the company but also, I can’t wait to see what is in store for my future here!
With such great people at Abel Womack and throughout the entire Raymond dealer network, how could I ever leave? Hired as a service technician more than 35 years ago, my knowledge of electrical troubleshooting helped me succeed with new wire guidance systems at that time. A few years later, I was promoted to a Customer Service Rep and then Customer Service Manager. We were smaller then and my role included technician management, tech specialists’ duties, and sales. It provided me with time in front of our clients, which is where I enjoy being the most. I happily landed in sales full time and find it so interesting to learn about our clients’ businesses, and develop customized, cost effective solutions for their material handling needs. Management helped me grow into this role and I just can’t imagine doing anything else, anywhere else.
Abel Womack and its employees strive to make a difference in our communities and our world every day. Here are just a few of our employees supporting their causes.
