Why did you join SquadLocker?
KAYLA: I enjoy the field of work the company offers. Also, everyone here is extremely nice and welcoming.
What is your proudest moment at SquadLocker?
KAYLA: In pre-production, we aim to have an extremely low error rate. We recently dropped out error rate down to a 2% margin of incorrect logo reviews. Essentially, we've greatly improved our logo review process, which, in turn, helps our customers quicker and with less issues. We're also only a team of four, so it's amazing to trim the margin this low.
What advice would you give to recent new hires?
KAYLA: Find out what everyone does. It will help you in the long-run, as we all end up working with each department at some point.
If the company was a Taco, what ingredient would you be and why?
