Name: Marc H.
Title: Associate Network Engineer
Office:   Milwaukee
 
Why did you decide to work at Tushaus? I actually worked for Third Millennium Design originally and that company was acquired by Tushaus. I really have enjoyed the transition to a large company with more resources. Everyone here made our team feel welcome and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.  

What do you like best about working at Tushaus? I personally think the best thing about working at Tushaus is how empowered I feel to do my job. The managers and co-workers here really trust and value opinions and give us space to do what needs to be done to resolve issues. There is a lot of freedom to think outside the box and do what is required without going through lots of channels to get said work, done. Customers really appreciate our ability to jump right in and get our hands dirty. Having your co-workers look to you for knowledge and respecting your opinions really gives you a sense of purpose, which I think is crucial to job satisfaction. 
What’s interesting about your role within Tushaus? Telling people that you work on a Help Desk always conjures images of password re-setting and changing keyboards and mice, but that is a very small part what we do. The Help Desk is made up of engineers that can help in a variety of situations including resolving issues remotely that would normally require sending someone to a customer’s site. We really help to administrate on a variety of levels, from delegating customer issues, to resolving issues remotely, to lifting heavy things. We have an equal hand in serving internal and external customers and strive to help in any way we can.  
What’s the most significant contribution you’ve made to Tushaus to improve our customers’ satisfaction?
I think the most significant contribution I have made is transitioning Third Millennium Design into a Tushaus team. There were lots of late nights cleaning, moving, creating and tweaking processes, meeting and resolving issues, all in the effort to make Tushaus a better, stronger company. I look at where the Apple team started and where it is and how much better we service our customers.  
 
What accomplishment have you made at work that you are most proud of? I don’t think there is one thing that I have done that stands out. I really take pride in solving problems and taking care of our customers. Every time I see a customer in need and can turn a negative situation into a positive one, that is what I am most proud of.

Name: Grant W., PMP
Title:   Project Leader
Office:  Milwaukee  
 
How long have you worked at Tushaus? I’ve worked at Tushaus for over a year.  

Why did you decide to work at Tushaus?
I decided to work at Tushaus because I was looking for new challenges. At previous positions that I had held I primarily focused on large projects in the Financial and Communications industries. I was particularly interested in the desire to grow the Business Solutions Department and I wanted to be a part of that growth. I felt that my experience with larger projects could be an asset to facilitate that transition.

What do you like best about working at Tushaus? I like the variety the job has to offer and I really enjoy the team that I work with. Within the Business Solutions Services department there are many different types of projects that I can take on. Having so many different types of projects provides me with the opportunity to see different technologies and to keep myself well rounded.

What’s interesting about your role within Tushaus? One interesting item is that shortly after I started at Tushaus I was given the opportunity to manage all the projects for a very large local bank. The bank is one of our larger clients in the Business Solutions Services department and there are many different projects going on at the same time. It was a great challenge to apply my style to help manage the relationship. A year later I feel that progress has been made with both how employees handle projects and how we communicate and work with the client.
What’s the most significant contribution you’ve made to Tushaus to improve our customers’ satisfaction?
While the project is not live yet, I’m very confident that the Autotask Implementation Project that I am managing will indirectly translate to increased customer satisfaction thru the use of the Client Portal and the efficiencies the tool will afford our employees. Users of the system will be more efficient and able to provide a greater level of service to our customers.
What accomplishment have you made at work that you are most proud of? I’m very proud of the fact that I have passed my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification earlier this year and that Tushaus was very supportive of me completing this. I had not really done any continuing education since college and it was very challenging to get back in the mindset of having to study and prepare for an exam.
