Photo and Interview by Thomas
Where do you work, and what do you do there?
I work for Toyota(TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky, and I am a manager in corporate shared services. So corporate shared services were over like landscaping, janitorial, cafes, fitness, child care, and many other things.
So what does a typical work day look like for you?
No, two days are the same, but typically I'm going out talking to my suppliers, making sure they're doing their job correctly and everything is set up for all the team members. So the cafes are ready with food and things of that nature. Also working with my team members that report to me so that I can work on different projects with them and things like that.
And how would you say TMMK impacts our community?
TMMK impacts the community in many ways, but from my group specifically to impact the community, we have a holiday meal every year. And during that holiday meal, we're feeding about 12,000 of our team members and contractors on-site at TMMK. And after that meal, all of the leftover food and stuff, we donate to the Amen House in God's pantry.
And what are some of the other positions that people are working at TMMK?
There's a lot of different positions at TMMK, starting out as a team member, working out on the line, helping put together cars, vehicles. There's many different positions out there from body weld to stamping and paint to actually assembling the vehicles. There's also quality team members, safety team members, human resource team members. So there's a ton of different people, engineers and everything else. So everybody basically contributes to building that Camry that comes off the line here at TMMK.
All right. Well, thank you for participating in the interview.
