Congratulations to Robert Kelly on being Employee of the Month for January  2025!!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 29 years of dedicated service, Robert consistently goes above and beyond to support his team. He is often the first to arrive, the last to leave, and always ensures everything is ready for others, even before tackling his own responsibilities. Robert\u2019s reliability, passion, and genuine care for others make him an invaluable part of the team and more than deserving of this recognition. Let’s all congratulate Robert Kelly on this much deserved recognition!<\/p>\n\n\n

Nomination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Robert is an amazing co worker who goes above and beyond to help everybody. He is the first person to come in, always with us on his mind, and the last one to leave. He goes above an beyond to make sure everything is ready for us on top of his daily duties. Robert has given 29 years to Monroe WCL and when asked how he feels about it his response is always the same, “Monroe WCL IS my family”. Such a humble and selfless person, always willing to give and never expects anything in return. I am truly blessed and happy that I met such a great person like Robert and love working by his side! “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Lilibeth Lopez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Robert has shown to be a valuable part of the Monroe WCL crew. He is willing to help in any task and makes sure our building is up and running everyday.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Rosie Flores<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Setting up the office daily, he is willing to assist anyone that needs help. He always helps assist the company in any way shape or form. He knows his job very well and takes pride in his work”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Jason Chu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Robert is truly our \u201cMr. Does-It-All.\u201d He consistently goes above and beyond for the team, always willing to drop what he\u2019s doing to help others\u2014even when it means adjusting schedules or temporarily disrupting the tight ship he runs. His kindness is genuine, and his willingness to support everyone around him does not go unnoticed.
Robert is deeply passionate about the things he loves: books, movies, his collections, and especially his work. He views this job not just as a workplace, but as a family, and that care shows in everything he does. He takes immense pride in his role and treats every responsibility with respect and dedication.
With impeccable attention to detail, Robert ensures everything is done correctly the first time. As the final set of eyes on all shipping paperwork, he plays a critical role in maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and trust across the company. His reliability, heart, and passion make him an invaluable asset and more than deserving of Employee of the Month recognition. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Alexa Gaxiola<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Robert is an exceptional colleague who consistently goes above and beyond in everything he does. He not only performs his role with excellence, but he also takes the extra time to catch even the smallest details, ensuring work is done right the first time. His dedication comes from a place of genuine care, and it truly shows. No matter the task, Robert is always willing to help, he never says no and can always be relied upon to get things done. No challenge is ever too big or too small for him. With 29 years of service to the company, Robert\u2019s commitment, reliability, and heart of gold make him an invaluable member of our team.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Yesenia Martin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Robert has given many years of dedicated service, and I know he will be both thrilled and deeply moved to learn he has been named Employee of the Month. Being acknowledged and thought of for this award will mean so much to him. This team captured Robert perfectly. He is consistently kind, generous with his time and attention, and always ready to step in wherever he\u2019s needed. What truly sets Robert apart is that he never serves others for recognition or personal gain; he does so simply because he has a genuine servant\u2019s heart. Recognizing one of the most selfless people among us makes this honor even more meaningful. Robert is truly deserving of this award. He is a self-proclaimed sci-fi nerd who loves reading and collecting movies. He has an extensive collection that he\u2019s always happy to lend to others. He has met many Hollywood actors and proudly shares his impressive collection of movie memorabilia, photographs, and autographs. Robert also worked at the Griffith Observatory for many years and has no shortage of funny stories to tell. These unique interests and experiences only add to the warmth and joy Robert brings to WCL.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Holly McDaniel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Always willing to help!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Jeff Goldberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is no one more dedicated to his work than Robert. If we were here on Saturdays and Sundays, he would be the first one through the door! He truly looks forward to seeing everyone each and every day. When anyone takes a vacation, boy, are they sorely missed!
Robert quietly serves with a huge heart, and even acknowledging his kindness feels<\/strong> like over-the-top recognition for him. Congratulations, Robert!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Dena Beaty<\/p>\n\n\n
