A Career with Team 1stSource

Message from the President:

When I was a boy, my first job was riding my bicycle around to cut neighbor's lawns, pull weeds, etc. When I turned 16 and became more mobile, I wanted to make more money working after school and on weekends. My Dad spoke to a friend that owned a local business, and arranged for me to work at the very bottom of his totem pole. Without telling me of this prior arrangement, he suggested that if I wanted a job, I should apply at this company. But first, he gave me some advice that has been valuable during my long and varied career.

He said, "If you intend to show up on time, work hard and do your best, don't apply for a job with the attitude that they are going to do you a favor. If your work is valuable, it will help them make more money, so you will be the one doing the favor, not them."

This principal has served me well. Now, as I depend on the members of our team to expand 1stSource so we can provide more quality, cost effective products and services to our Customers, I remember my Dad’s advice from another perspective. We may make offers for quality talent to join Team 1stSource, but I can never forget that I am not the one doing the favor. Each member of our Team is providing talent, expertise, and hard work that is propelling 1stSource to greater levels of success and providing higher value to our Customers. If the concept of joining 1stSource sparks your interest, remember, if you join our Team I will always consider your work a personal favor.

About being a member of Team 1stSource

When 1stSource was founded in May of 2000 we hired one employee. His name was John Webb, and he came to us with no experience in the Industries we serve. He not only learned from the ground up, but he personally set up shipping procedures and many other operations required in a startup distribution Company. He then did the work himself until we could add others to the Team. In 2015, Mr. Webb was promoted to General Manager of 1stSource Products Inc. He is an example of the way career paths can develop within a Company that is not bound by tradition and regulations. If you become a member of 1stSource, where you go will depend on the value you bring to the Team and how the Company grows and develops, in part because of your contribution.

A Team normally has members with complementary skills and generates synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize their strengths and minimize their weakness. Now, after 17 years, we have different positions in various departments. Growth is exciting and interesting, not only for our Company as a whole, but also the growth of each person on this team as we strive together for continual improvement in every aspect of what we do.
