Reuben Amos has been a member of Houston’s Merchandising Team since May of 2022. Currently he services three stores in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and represents Houston’s with professionalism, reliability, and an ability to be adaptable.
For these attributes and more, Reuben has earned recognition as the Merchandising Employee of the Quarter for Q4.
According to Merchandising Manager Scott Sauls, Reuben is a great ambassador for Houston’s Core Values. Notably, Reuben is adept at connecting with customers and coworkers, and presents a strong sense of integrity through his work.
“From showing up consistently early to conversing with customers and managers in a polite and respectful manner, Reuben has proven to be a valuable and revered asset to our team,” said Scott.
Reuben has also demonstrated his keen ability to adapt to changes, and has suggested ideas for improvements in the opportunities he notices.
“Reuben has helped expand the Lotus Energy section in one of his stores, by informing the manager more about the product and its movement in Northern stores,” Scott said. “Reuben also suggested a prime location next to Torani syrups and smoothie mixes, which is where it is set now.”
“With the help of product knowledge, POS (point of sale material), and store support, our goal is to catch up to Northern stores in Lotus sales, and Reuben is doing his part,” Scott added.
Scott notes that another of Reuben’s most valuable attributes to the team is his reliability.
“I know I can always count on Reuben whatever the task,” he said. “He always shows up early, ready to work – Reuben’s reliability translates to his work ethic and consistency with his quality of work.”
It’s evident that Reuben brings a unique brand of professionalism and dedication to the workplace.
“His polite and respectful manners probably come from his upbringing or from his time in the military,” Scott said. “Regardless of where they come from, Reuben is a unique addition to Houston’s that I’m proud to have on my team.”
Congratulations, Reuben. This recognition is well-deserved!
Runners up for the quarter include Gannon Beale (First Runner Up) and Rhianna Peterson (Second Runner Up).
