Emily's job is a dirty one as our Wetaskiwin stores Detailer, and she enjoys every minute of it! Her bubbly personality is contagious, always showing up to work in a good mood and rubbing off onto the rest of the team. She absolutely loves her job and the crew she gets to work with, and Emily has created a new standard of clean in the Wetaskiwin area, as customers have been heard saying �it's not clean until it's Emily clean!�
We sat down with Emily to learn more about her, and her days spent detailing John Deere equipment. Her responses were so candid and fun we just had to share word-for word, as Emily's personality shines through.
What does your typical day at work involve?
�Well the days usually go like this; I have my 10-minute morning talk with my fav people in the back and that's what starts the day off right! But to get to the nitty gritty, it's a pretty dirty day by the end of it! Lots of up and down the ladders, getting into all the no reach zones on the inside of cabs! I have the capability of getting into places where some cannot!�
What is your favorite piece of equipment to clean?
Let's be real, some may say that the lawn mowers and Gators are the best to clean, well, I think otherwise. In my mind the combines are my favorite piece to clean - yes, they are big and yes, they may have lots of hiding spots but when it is all said and done, they look immaculate, and I can't be any more satisfied when they go out into the sunlight!�
What is your least favorite piece of equipment to clean?
�If we are being brutally honest here, then I would have to say that the sprayers are my least favorite piece to clean. You may think there quick and easy, and yes in a sense they are, but what gets me is I can't wipe down and scrub every single beam or nook and cranny on them!�
What is your most memorable day from your time working at Martin Deerline?
�It was like yesterday, I had been working for roughly half a year at this point and I had a combine in my wash bay ready to be taken out, low and behold it was my time to take it out! Luckily, I had my favorite person Ivan, in the cab with me helping me through the excitement and adrenaline my body was going through. I did it though, backed her out and parked it out in the lot with the help of Ivan and Carl guiding me. It was the BEST DAY EVER!�
What advice would you give a new employee at Martin Deerline?
�This right here is what we call a family, and in this family, we are honest, caring, supportive, and will do what we can when we can to help you in the right direction.�
What are your hobbies outside of work?
�Well, I love to fish all year round, except on them real cold winter days! Then you will find me crafting or painting. And in the summertime, I like to dig my hand into the dirt gardening.�
What is something people may be surprised to know about you?
�My age! I may be small and look like I am fresh out of high school, but� a lady never reveals her age!�
With a passion to clean, bright smile, and great sense of humor, Emily is a joy to work with every day, and we are so grateful to have her as part of our team!
