With Christmas soon approaching and many families spending their Christmas holidays at OLOL Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge with sick kids, employees of PacTec, Inc. in Clinton decided to take action. We reached out to the hospital about holding a toy drive, and luckily with COVID protocols in place, we were given the ability to “Pack the Bag” with new toys. A continuation of their annual charitable fundraising efforts, employees from all departments of PacTec, Inc. donated toys or money for these hospitalized children in hopes of filling one of their cubic yard waste packaging bags. Together, their nearly 100 Clinton based employees reached their goal, collecting over 300 toys valued at nearly $5,000. They were loaded up and delivered this week to the hospital in Baton Rouge for distribution.

It may sound cliché when we say a salesperson “wears many hats,” but for Domingo Gonzales, what else can be said? As PacTec’s Southwest Territory Sales Executive, Domingo leads the pack in sales and distribution for the Houston Metropolitan Area, making him the authority for keeping a close eye on inventory levels, processing and delivering orders, and warehousing. On top of all that, he still finds time to assist local refineries, industrial sites, and oil and gas guys with their waste packaging and spill containment needs.

A psychologist, peacemaker, lawyer, teacher, and spreadsheet master walk into a room…

While this isn't the opening to a great joke, it is a typical moment in the day and life of PacTec's Director of Human Resources, Claire McCrary. An avid planner, Claire schedules her workday to ensure that everything on her list makes it to the "checked" status; however, when that unexpected curveball is pitched, she steps up to the plate and is a homerun hitter! Recently Claire directed PacTec's annual open enrollment and benefits fair all while finalizing our annual affirmative action plan analysis. If that's not a jack of all trades, I don't know what is.

PacTec's progress would not be possible without the incredible members of #teampactec. As we continue our MEET THE TEAM series of spotlights, we want to introduce one of our behind-the-scenes heroes, Amanda Roussel. Very little of what gets produced at PacTec happens without first crossing Amanda's desk, whose business card reads Mechanical Designer, mainly because we didn't have space to put all her true titles. 😉
