Tell us about your role in Watanabe Floral
I work at Watanabe Floral as a Guest Service Representative and Wedding Consultant within the Sales Team. I cover the phone center where we answer any calls, emails and/or text messages that are sent to us. My main responsibilities are assisting guests with floral orders/transactions for the meaningful events in their life or helping them brighten someone's day.
What do you enjoy most about working at Watanabe Floral?
Seeing everything come to life. For the majority of the time, our guests will come to us with an idea/vision of what they are wanting for their weddings, special event or special occasions. Being able to work with them and help them bring their vision to life and the guests absolutely loving the outcome is the best reward for all the time and work that is put into making sure the order is a success.
What is your favorite flower or plant?
My favorite flower is the sunflower.
Share a favorite memory from your time working at Watanabe Floral
It's hard to share a single memory, but one of my favorite traditions is when we take our Sales Christmas photo for our Christmas cards to our wholesalers. We normally color coordinate or wear our favorite silly Christmas sweaters. It really brings us together as we prepare for the holiday rush.
Why should someone consider a career with Watanabe Floral?
So many reasons come to mind but the main reason that I love working here is because of our values, team members and the employee benefits. These benefits show that Watanabe Floral truly does care for us outside of the company as well. Being part of a company and a team that cares about you brings me a lot of comfort knowing that we are a family here and we care not just about the people we work with but with the guests we come into contact with as well.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work, spending time with my family and friends is what I love to do. Being able to have those bonding moments is so special to me. Most of my time is spent taking care of mom who was diagnosed with acute heart failure. When I do have time to do other things, I'm always planning beach trips, around the island drives, late night food runs and a hike here and there with everyone else that I care about. .
