Here at Raynor Electric, we care about our employees just as much as our customers. We want you to get to know the people who make Raynor a family, so here’s a little information about Sheri Murphy who works in our office!
How long have you been working at Raynor Electric?
I have been working at Raynor Services for over a year now. I chose to work for this company as I have always worked for large corporations and never quite felt appreciated or even acknowledged. I felt replaceable, despite my experience and skills that contributed to my success. Being that Raynor Services is a family-owned business, I play a larger role in the success of the company and can have direct interaction with management and the owners.
What is it like working directly with the owners?
Working with the owners daily is quite unique as I have not had the luxury of even meeting most owners of my past employers. I have had the pleasure of attending off-site training along with one of the owners and was able to learn other aspects of the mechanics of running a service company. The opportunities are endless and the dexterity to do so is at your fingertips. For anyone who wants to grow into a leader and expand their knowledge base, Raynor certainly provides the tools to do so. This is much different than corporate America.
Why did you choose to work at Raynor Electric?
My work experience has been in the hospitality industry mostly in Event Planning, Sales, and Catering. I feel my experience with working with all walks of life has helped me transition into the Service Industry. It is quite different assisting people who are happy and excited to call me to book events than working with people who are frustrated and annoyed that they have no power, no heat or AC; but I do love what I do because I know I am working for a premier company that uses the best equipment and materials and the best technicians. It’s easy to succeed at your job here when you have such confidence in your team and company.
What is your favorite part of the job?
My favorite part about working here is my ability to utilize my sales experience to obtain new clients as well as continue the relationship with customers that have been a part of the Raynor family for over a quarter century. I love the challenge of seeking out new business and earning the trust of the clients. I can promote Raynor Services with certainty and that is a quality that most companies lack.
What do you enjoy doing on your off time?
A large part of why I left the hospitality industry and accepted a position in a different field was to become more available for my family. I have been married for 8 years and have two sons. My schedule allows me to be there for them for their sports and activities and quality time. I enjoy dining out, attending sporting events and traveling. I love holidays, board games, poker and spending time with family.
If I were to reveal something about myself it would have to be that I absolutely love the 60s! I love the music and can sing just about any 60s song! I think I was born in the wrong decade!
