Amparo's coworkers were delighted to see her recognized for the Employee Spotlight.
"Undoubtedly, her hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Congratulations, Amparo! You are a key member of this team, and your recognition is well deserved." - Joselyne Garcia, Accurate Crew Member and Shift Lead, Las Vegas
"Amparo is a good worker, very honest, and puts a lot of effort into her work. She is a great co-worker. What more can I say about her?" - Leticia Tapa, Accurate Crew Member, Las Vegas
Francisco S. is the Facility Manager at the school where Amparo works, as well as one of Accurate's former Area Managers. "I'm always on board with recognizing Accurate's hardworking employees," Francisco said. "I think the Employee Spotlight is a fantastic way to showcase their dedication and contributions to the buildings where they provide service. Amparo, in particular, truly deserves this recognition for her outstanding work and positive impact here!"
"I have known Amparo for many years, and her work ethic and dedication have remained consistently impressive. She truly cares about her job and always fulfills her responsibilities each night. You will rarely see her standing still; she is always on the move. Teachers and staff frequently compliment the quality of her work, particularly noting how clean the restrooms are after she has cleaned them. One of the main focal points in the Middle School is the hallway, which we sometimes refer to as "the beast." Amparo operates the floor scrubber like a professional. The floor is clean and shiny every morning! Operating a T-3 is not easy, but she excels at it. On behalf of [the school], I want to thank Amparo for her hard work and dedication. We truly appreciate you!" - Francisco S., Facility Manager and Accurate Customer, Las Vegas
WHAT AMPARO HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE JANITORIAL INDUSTRY AND WORKING AT ACCURATE
What brought you to the cleaning industry? When I arrived to this country, I was looking for a job. I knew that I know how to clean, so I pursued what I knew. It has been my one and only job since arriving. I have never considered working elsewhere.
What keeps you motivated at work? My family! I support my family and pay my bills with my earnings.
What’s the most embarrassing, funniest, or weirdest thing that’s happened to you at work? Funniest and embarrassing, because it was so unexpected-- I was surprised with a birthday cake from Accurate during the middle of my shift.
What advice would you give to recent new hires? Do a good job, work hard, and you will always have a job with Accurate.
What makes you feel proud and satisfied about your job? Knowing what it looked like before I arrived and seeing how clean and fresh it looks afterwards.
What aspect of your job do you enjoy the most? The teamwork. We all have our own tasks, and everyone is always willing to help each other so we can finish on time.
What's the best work advice you've received? Work as a team, and the tasks at hand will be easier.
Describe your fellow Accurate team members in 3 words.
Hardworking
Driven
Team Players
What makes you proud of being an Accurate team member? That I work for a company that cares about their employees. I’ve worked in several buildings over the years. Accurate has always found a placement for me whenever there are contract changes.
Which work benefit or perk is your favorite and why? The greatest perk is there is always an opportunity to move up in the company for those who speak English. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, I haven't been able to take advantage of that opportunity.
WHAT AMPARO SHARED ABOUT HERSELF
How do you define success? Success to me is leaving a good impression and striving to be a good person.
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? Cook! My husband is a cook, and although I consider trying to help him cook meals, I panic as soon as I see all the condiments and utensils. I want to learn to cook the food that I crave!
What is the greatest challenge you've had to overcome in your life so far? My divorce. I felt like it was a sin. It took me a while to move past it. Looking back, I regret not making the decision sooner. I’ve been blessed with an amazing husband who cooks for me and takes good care of our family.
What's one thing on your bucket list? I’d like to travel back to Mexico, to where I’m from.
What is your favorite family tradition?
Gathering friends and family together to make a simple event into a big Fiesta. It brings us closer, and I enjoy the closeness, food, and sharing a good time.
What is one thing people don't know about you that they'd be surprised to find out? I’ve been employed with Accurate for 24 years, and I’ve never looked for another job. I would say the reason I am still here is because I do a good job.
Do you collect anything? YES! Shoes. I buy a lot of shoes. I don’t wear all of them, but I do have quite a lot of shoes.
Thank you, AMPARO, for being a highly valued team member and an inspiration! We are so glad you’re part of The Accurate Family.
