F rom Cus t ome r Se r v i ce t o Ope r a t i ons Manage r — 20 Yea r s and Coun t i ng
For this issue’s Team Member Spotlight, we want to introduce our Operations Manager,
Rhonda Salgado. Rhonda began working at Reid & Pederson 20 years ago when John and Kevin Reid merged their company with Mr. Pederson’s business.
Upon joining our team, Rhonda became the first person many of our clients talked to when calling our office. Now, Rhonda oversees scheduling, customer service, employee benefits, and several other aspects of the business. “Starting off, it was only John and Kevin running the business,” Rhonda says. “They were great with customer service and day-to-day stuff, but they didn’t have much time for important things like hiring, employee benefits, and time cards. So, that’s where I come in.” Before joining Reid & Pederson, Rhonda was a property manager at a local property management company. At one point, her company needed work done on the drains of several buildings, and Kevin and John were hired to complete the job. They got to know Rhonda more and were quite impressed with her work ethic and the way she managed her team, so much so that once they merged companies with Mr. Pederson, they asked her to join their team! It wasn’t only Kevin and John who were eager to get Rhonda on their team; the feeling was actually mutual. “Having worked with Kevin and John in the past, I had seen their work ethic and how they handled jobs in person. I was really impressed with everything they did. They ran a business focused on honesty and doing an excellent job for every single customer. It was these characteristics that first attracted me to their business, and I was more than happy to join their team when they asked me.” Out of the office, Rhonda loves to spend most of her time with her family. Her two children, Luis and Isabel, play for several sports teams, so she’s often running them back and forth between their different activities and watching their games. “Family time is the most important thing to me,” she states. “I love watching my kids do something they enjoy and cheering them on.”
won’t be available through this new service as Disney wants to keep its family-friendly approach.
