Skyline Displays

Selected by owner to assist in completing and documenting daily operating procedures for three different departments. Requirement was to learn the job requirements while supervising employees and to document procedures. 
I learned the requirements of three different positions where I had little prior experience and was able to formulate and document operational procedures. The primary task was to provide both training for employees and to enable a non-experienced manager to step in and supervise these employees to allow continued operations without disruption to quality of service. The secondary benefit was to properly measure an employees performance against metrics suited to that particular job function.
The most difficult part of the job was knowing it was a temporary position, while the most enjoyable was working with the employees.

Skyline Exhibits could have been managed better than it was. The sales staff was nice but was under constant pressure to perform better. The warehouse, where I worked, was a good place to work with hard working people but it suffered terribly from a lack of equipment and proper training. At trade shows I was constantly running across products that I had never been trained on so using your own devices to get work done was a skill that became more and more essential as time went on. A typical day was spent interacting with sales  about upcoming trade shows, pulling and prepping client material for the trade show, going to the trade show to set up the client material, and restocking the client material back in our warehouse when the trade show was finished.

A typical day at work would average about 8 to 10 hours. I would receive anywhere from 2 to 6 trucks per day, not counting Fed Ex and UPS. I learned a lot about the SAP program during my time there. Management was not involved in the operation of my duties. My co-workers were not involved in the operation of my duties. The hardest part of my job was co-ordinating inbound and outbound trucks during show times. The most enjoyable part of my job was the interaction with the drivers who picked up and delivered the booths for the shows.

As a hardware technician, responsibilities included assembly of various tradeshow displays as well as shipping/storage containers for the displays. By performing the various different tasks throughout the day/week, it reduced the monotony of doing the typical manufacturing job to a minimum. The management was understanding of different needs/time off as well as the rest of the team. Best part of the job was getting to see all the different tradeshow displays and be a part of their development/manufacturing.

Now that COVID is on the downtick, the industry is back and booming more than ever!

In the past 24 months, Skyline has brought in new Executive Leadership that has provided our organization with new perspectives and strategies. 

New company culture standards have been implemented and employee engagement/recognition has improved from years prior. 

Although, no Company is perfect.. Skyline has been sincerely trying to make work life better for all (especially in a new world post-COVID).

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is not one thing outside of getting paid.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor Leadership, however, I heard they have a new President and Vice President.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is a lack of recognition and there are many silo’s within the company. They are not employee centric.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, demanding and unappreciated.

The industry is rather diverse making the job very much the same.  However, with the company being so small there is little room for advancement.  A typical day balances the production of booth preparation, dock duty, and general operation of the warehouse.  Communication is Paramount for success both in and out of house as there is a constant need to handle multiple jobs at the same time.

If you are really good at your job, enjoy being challenged, and like to be part of a world-class team, Skyline is a great place to work.  The culture is deeply ingrained with clear Core Values and associated behaviors.  If you don't fit it, they will ask you to leave!

Things I enjoy most about the job is you get to work individually and as a group.  You learn to work on many parts and type of items that are made and manufactured in the company.  I enjoy building exhibits for big companies.  The people here are always friendly and has a positive environment.

In my first three years, I took the company from a commodity sale to a consultative education sale.  I was responsible for 86 international distributors in 22 countries, 1100 sales reps, all marketing, training and new product development functions.
