Store Management Testimonials |
|
"I have always enjoyed the fast pace of retail, but my two main passions in life are my family and fishing.
So when I started a career search, I was looking for a company that would keep me in retail management, yet have a
schedule that allowed me to enjoy my outside interests. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
My search ended when I found Bi-Mart. Today I am amazed, Bi-Mart has been even better
than I thought it would be. Like most Bi-Mart managers, I began my career as an associate |
|
manager. I started in Medford, Oregon and a series of promotions took me to Grants Pass and North
Bend, Oregon where I was promoted to Store Manager. |
|
|
|
One of the things that is most surprising to me about Bi-Mart, is that I can get on the phone and
call the president to ask a question whenever I want to. If I have a question concerning personnel, I know the
folks in human resources that can help me. If I have a customer with a special need, I know which buyer to contact.
It’s this type of cooperation that has helped me make this store a success" |

"Having grown up in Bend, Oregon I was familiar with Bi-Mart because my family shopped there. When it came time to move, there was a
Bi-Mart in the town I moved to so I applied and was hired as a salesclerk. Two years later I entered the Associate Manager program and now
I have my own store. |
|
|
|
Being a manager for Bi-Mart has allowed me to have a great career in retail while being able to spend quality time with my |
|
children. Where else can you work on a weekend and still be home by 7 pm to have dinner with your family? Besides the best retail hours out there, I like
the sense of ownership I get working for an employee owned company." |

"The Bi-Mart family has been my home for over 35 years. Bi-Mart's formula is quite simple; offer outstanding customer
service and personal attention to our members, provide low prices every day, and empower employees to make a difference. With these principals, I
am proud to work for the best retail organization in the Pacific Northwest and look forward to serving our members each and every day." |

"After working several years in Food Service management, I was looking for a career change; the stability of a large company was appealing to me. I
began my search at the university I had recently graduated. It was through their career center that I was given information about Bi-Mart.
I had never thought about a career in retail management, but knew Bi-Mart had a great reputation and stability. At that time, Bi-Mart
had been in business for nearly 50 years. I decided to pursue that |
|
career path and have never regretted my decision. |
|
|
|
I enjoy working for a company with values similar to mine and business principals that make good sense. I appreciate that Bi-Mart is an
active member of the small towns and communities that they operate in. The values that hit home for me most are that employee longevity is appreciated
and Bi-Mart likes to promote from within. My career has been a perfect example of that. After three years in store management, I was promoted
to a position in the business office as the Worker’s Compensation and Liability Supervisor. Since this was a totally different environment than working the sales
floor and managing approximately 50 employees, I learned a totally different aspect of the business. But my growth didn’t stop there! With the tools I
learned while fostering a safety culture in Bi-Mart and creating safety training DVDs, as well as possessing the operations knowledge gained
during my time managing in the stores, I was promoted to the Training Coordinator position. In this position, I am excited about the opportunity to develop
and implement tools that will bring others the feeling of success that I have experienced while working for Bi-Mart." |
