Despite lacking HR experience, she took a chance and applied for a role, which led to five years of fulfilling work, supportive relationships, and valuable insights. Read on to learn more about her experiences at our company. 

When I was last looking for a job, I was drawn to Simpson Strong-Tie because I was seeking career growth, and my last company didn’t have room for advancement. I found an HR admin position for Simpson Strong-Tie listed on LinkedIn, and after some research on Indeed, I saw great reviews about the company’s culture, treatment of employees, and the experiences of employees. I knew I had to apply.

Although I did not have any HR experience, I decided to take a chance and apply for the role. Fortunately, Simpson Strong-Tie took a chance on me and hired me. Throughout my five years here, I have come to understand what people meant by the company’s great culture — I found a company founded on genuine, people-centered values, which foster a supportive work environment where employees feel valued, respected, and encouraged to learn and grow. I have built amazing relationships with my colleagues and leaders, which make me feel like I’m part of a family rather than just a team.

One of the main reasons why I love my job so much, whether it’s been as an HR Admin, an HR Coordinator, or now an Executive Assistant, is because I have the opportunity to support people in the company. It’s fulfilling to know that I play a small but respected role in contributing to the success of the company. 

An aspect that has made my time at Simpson Strong-Tie fulfilling is the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of individuals. The strong relationships I’ve been able to build with so many committed and talented people from different backgrounds makes me confident that my growth will continue for a long time to come.
