In my role as a Production Associate, I operated the company's patented machinery to process card batches. After four months, I earned a promotion to Quality Assurance, where I inspected production quality, cut cards to a standard size of 7" x 5.25” using the TRIUMPH 6660 Automatic Paper Cutter, and handled stamping and sealing envelopes.

Recognizing the potential to enhance employee morale, I initiated monthly activities and arranged for fresh produce deliveries through Fresh Direct. I also established a production fund, encouraging associates to contribute a quarter per day for themed parties, such as Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and summer ice cream parties, at the end of each month.

Due to my dedication to office culture and my position, I underwent training and earned a promotion to Shipping/Receiving Clerk. As a Receiving Clerk, I sorted batches from card printing manufacturers and prepared them for processing on the company's back-office website. After processing the daily batches, I transitioned to the role of Shipping Clerk, where I inventoried and verified orders, packed them for shipment, and reconciled received and shipped batches in Excel spreadsheets for management approval.

Unfortunately, Bond relocated its production department to Tennessee in 2017, leading to the closure of the company's doors in 2019.
