Eduardo Reyes, Portland Employee of the Month
Please join us in congratulating Eduardo Reyes, Portland Warehouse Employee of the Month for April! Eduardo has been a part of the team in our Portland Receiving Department since 2006.
Eduardo likes that there is always something different to do working in Receiving. Whether it’s receiving product in from our vendors, going through the warehouse pulling pallets down on the fork lift, or a variety of other tasks; he enjoys never being stuck in one area and always being on the move.
His Supervisor Brenda Hart added, “Eduardo has a high volume of productivity while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Because of Eduardo’s knowledge of the product he is often asked to train new employees in Receiving. He is reliable and his ability and willingness to move from one task to another, whether it is for Receiving or another department, makes Eduardo a valuable employee.”
What Eduardo likes best about Houston’s is the nice environment and the hours. Depending on how busy Receiving is, the hours can fluctuate which allows him to occasionally get off a little bit early. The flexible hours allow for more time to spend with his wife, son, and daughter enjoying family time. On a nice day they like to go to the park, the Oregon Zoo, or walk around downtown Portland – sometimes stopping for an ice cream cone.
One thing you may not know about Eduardo is he collects soccer jerseys; he has about three suitcases filled with a variety from different teams and years. Though he is not just an avid collector and fan he enjoys playing soccer too, he used to play on a team when he lived in Mexico. When his son gets a little older he plans to teach him to play soccer too. His favorite soccer team to follow is the Tigres UANL (Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León), though he is also a Timbers fan and enjoys getting out and going to see their games live at Providence Park (in downtown Portland). Games there are so exciting, seeing the game up close along with the energy in the stadium from the fans and the Timbers Army is amazing!
Houston’s really appreciates all that you do and congratulations again Eduardo!
