March LIL

Ladies in Logistics- March Edition

It’s only fitting for our March LIL to be our latest team member- Victoria! She has been with PGT for several months now and she is definitely thriving!

Victoria decided to follow in her brothers’ footsteps and try out in the industry to see if it was something she’d enjoy. She got into the industry when she was just 18 years old, right out of high school. Her first experience in the industry was working night dispatch. She admittedly had no idea what she was doing.

Now, years later, Victoria’s favorite part of the industry is the fast paced environment and that it requires quick, on the spot, thinking and problem solving. “It’s true that the industry can be stressful at times, but I really enjoy it,” Victoria explained. “PGT has a lot to do with that.”

She further explained that she’s worked with both the “big dogs” and the “little ones” and each place had their own pros and cons. What sticks out to her the most about PGT is the way everyone is willing to step in and help in every aspect. Whether you need help with scheduling, questions, contacts, communication, etc, someone is always willing to lend a hand. “Everyone really wants to see the person sitting next to them succeed,” she said.

Her advice to anyone considering getting into the industry is: “Be ready! It is not easy in the beginning. There’s a lot of information to absorb and you can quickly become lost if you don’t keep yourself organized and just stick with it.” She added that it’s important to lean on your leaders and mentors for help so you can succeed in the industry. 

Victoria is leading the way for future sales administrators and we look forward to her continued growth and success! We are happy to have you, Victoria! Keep doing your thing!

Meet Jim

Cincy Native

Jim joined us a little over a week ago, but it’s no secret that big things are expected because of his experience. So let’s get into it.

Jim was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended Cincinnati State where he earned his associate’s degree in clinical science. He values his family, his fiancé and nine year old daughter, above all else!

He has been in logistics for over thirteen years. It has always been one of Jim’s passions. He spent many years working from home which gave him the freedom to travel while he worked- which kept life interesting- until COVID. 

“PGT has given me an opportunity to work in an exciting and energetic environment again,” Jim explained. “I’m extremely grateful for that.”

Even in his short time with us at PGT, Jim is

confident that anyone who wants to learn the business or has a passion for logistics should come to PGT. “You’ll be welcomed with open arms and everyone is willing to help,” he added. “Your success is important to everyone!”

Welcome to the team, Jim! We look forward to your success!
