Jose Corral, Portland Employee of the Month

There are certain things that can brighten your day, even if it’s just a simple smile from a co-worker in passing. If you find yourself walking through the downstairs coffee bar area at break time you are sure to be greeted by Jose Corral with a big smile and “good morning, it’s break time!” This brings a smile to many employees’ faces every time, seeing someone else in such a good mood. And his supervisor Mike agrees!

“In the year and a half that I have worked with Jose, I have had the pleasure of working with a man that takes great pride in his ability to do a great job with any task assigned to him.  Jose is eager to help his fellow co-workers out when needed and teaches new employees working in the UPC Department how to work smart and handle any task. He also lends a hand to Receiving when they are shorthanded and in need of help. The best attributes that Jose brings to work every day are his never wavering high production level, ability to make people laugh out loud, and exudes a positive attitude all of the time,” said Mike McCoy, UPC Room Supervisor.

Jose has been a part of the Houston’s team since December 2013 where he enjoys working in the UPC Department. He says it is a comfortable job and likes repacking product, assembling table bases and high chairs, labeling products, and more.

When away from work you can find Jose enjoying the weather at the Tillamook coastal area or fishing with his wife and two kids (daughter 21 and son 20). He likes walking down the shore and says even rain and elements won’t stop him from enjoying it. Though he doesn’t just like a nice stroll on the beach to take time to simply breathe the fresh air, one of his favorite things to do is build a bonfire with family and friends he stays with while in Tillamook area. He also enjoys going fishing for salmon in the river and even cleans the fish himself before serving them up in a tasty dish! Some of his favorite meals to cook are enchiladas and chile rellenos. Yum!

Congratulations Jose on earning Employee of the Month for October for the Wilsonville Warehouse! We really appreciate all your hard work and laughs!
