PCS Employee of the Month for January 2013 – Bill Handler
February 5, 2013

Congratulations to Bill Handler, PCS Employee of the Month for January 2013. Bill is always willing to do whatever is necessary to help with any team and any task. He has stepped into a leadership role with PCS's largest service project, keeping it on its successful trajectory. Additionally, Bill has worked with Engineering Services on several projects throughout the state. And, most recently, he volunteered to jump in and lend a hand to an understaffed Inventory Team and help them keep up with a heavy receiving load arising from our recent weather-related closures. Bill can always be counted on to assist wherever he is needed, and to do so with professionalism and a commitment to excellence. His efforts are greatly appreciated.

Whenever issues arise, she has a good understanding of the receiving process and that enables her to investigate and arrive at solutions quickly and efficiently. Lani is very patient and unfailingly polite when dealing with other teams. She can always be counted on to respond to questions in a timely manner and to address teammates in a positive and helpful way.

PCS Employee of the Month for November 2012 – Steve Myers
December 4, 2012

Steve has always been very dependable and consistently works hard at everything he does. He does an outstanding job in Service and is always willing to take on new responsibilities to help out the team. During November, Steve not only helped with Pilot Flying J’s scanner repairs but also took on new service duties. He was asked to help with system building, stepped right back into doing something he had not done in quite some time, and said it was “just like riding a bicycle.” Steve can always be counted on to do whatever is asked of him, do it in a prompt and professional manner, and do it with a positive attitude and a smile.

 

PCS Employee of the Month for October 2012 – Bill Handler
November 6, 2012

Bill has consistently been a great performer since he started at PCS. He has a really good attitude and is always willing to help out. Recently he worked on the Greene County Schools NComputing installation, working late several days as the team put together a solution for the GCS computer lab. Before that project was even complete, he switched gears and went right to filling a gap for the Denso project team. Additionally, he spent several weeks assisting the IT staff at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and received glowing reviews from everyone in that group. Bill can always be counted on to do a great job and, almost without fail, do more than he is asked to do.

PCS Employee of the Month for August 2012 - Rich Cole
September 4, 2012

Rich is a very hard worker and a great asset – not just to the Inventory Team, but to the entire company. He pulls and ships all of our Promethean orders, and always keeps a tight grasp on what is missing and when it is expected to arrive. Rich has a keen eye for mis-keyed and incorrect orders and works with the Promethean and Sales Teams to correct those orders before they are sent to a customer site. Rich also jumps in to help receive and allocate freight as it arrives and schedules all LTL pickups and appointments for merchandise going out to customers. Always eager to help wherever he is needed, Rich approaches his work in a committed and professional manner at all times.

 

PCS Employee of the Month for July 2012 - Ashley Cardin
August 2, 2012

This past month, Ashley made some amazing strides with manipulation of information in CRM and Atrex. By integrating CRM information into forms we regularly use in-house, he has alleviated a lot of extra work for our team. Instead of manually completing these forms, team members can now print a report from CRM which displays all the information we need in our familiar formats. Ashley continuously rises to meet the challenges presented to him; this month, many team members finally got the opportunity to see the end result of projects into which Ashley put a lot of work. We appreciate his efforts and how they positively affect all of us.

 

PCS Employee of the Month for June 2012 - Lani Eddington
July 6, 2012

Lani has taken on the challenge of purchasing and has handled it with great confidence and outstanding dedication. While our purchasing team does not deal directly with customers, their work affects nearly everyone in the organization. Lani has stepped into that role, gotten up to speed very quickly, and handled the challenge with commitment and professionalism.

 

PCS Employee of the Month for May 2012 - Guy Handscombe
May 26, 2012

Guy is a great asset to the Shipping/Receiving and Inventory Teams, and to the PCS family as a whole. He is diligent in checking in merchandise, always ensuring that we have received what we ordered. He packs and ships more than 90% of our outbound FedEx parcels and is consistently on the lookout for the next item to process so nothing ever waits to be done. Always willing to lend a hand when other teams need assistance; Guy is a dedicated, conscientious, and professional individual who always does whatever he can to make a better PCS. Congratulations, Guy!

 

PCS Employee of the Month for April 2012 - Amanda Moore
May 1, 2012

Amanda is a greatly valued member of the PCS team. With every customer interaction, she shows a great sense of urgency and shows initiative at every turn. She picks up knowledge regarding new technologies at a remarkable rate and applies that knowledge to improve future engagements. Customers love her and she works well with other PCS team members, always demonstrating great professionalism and a positive attitude.

 

PCS Employee of the Month for March 2012 - Gavin McGowan
March 30, 2012

Gavin has been a great asset to PCS and our customers, having consistently been among the top performers and receiving great marks and customer comments on surveys. He always steps up to take on a challenge and never says “no” or “I can’t,” which makes him a go-to technician and a great teammate. Gavin spent many hours, late into the evenings, on-site assisting a customer (an accounting firm) during a very critical time (tax season) and doing everything he could do to get them back up and running. Although he worked diligently and with a great sense of urgency, Gavin remained calm and acted like it was “just another day at the office.” The customer took great pains to point out that they very much appreciated his stellar response to what was most definitely not “just another day at the office.” Congratulations, Gavin!

 

PCS Employee of the Month for February 2012 - Cathy Gregory
March 8, 2012

During the month of February, Cathy assisted the sales team in her role as Grants Champion by scheduling and organizing our response to numerous E-Rate requests for proposals. Cathy created calendars to track walkthrough dates, quotes from vendors, response due dates, and delivery dates. Cathy coordinated with multiple team members, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure that we were submitting professional and competitive responses each and every time. It is no secret she is a valuable member of the PCS Team. Congratulations, Cathy!
