(Collections Specialist, Tyler Office)  When news came down of the East Texas Copy Systems acquisition in December 2017, Kellie Tew had all the normal feelings one might expect: Anxiety. Worry over job security. Uncertainty of new supervisors.

But over time, Kellie has seen, more than anything, new opportunites laid out before her and this organization. A defined role and the ability to advance within the company. 

She has become, without a doubt, a Raving Fan here at Datamax.

What led me to Datamax?

"I started in August 2002 (with East Texas Copy Systems). I went through a temp agency, and actually interviewed for dispatch. Another employee was interviewing for receptionist, but we ended up swapping roles. So I started out as a receptionist. After eight months, I moved up to billing contracts, and meter collections, and then they merged me with Stephen (Hampton) in service.”

Stephen has watched Kellie thrive over the years.

“Kellie has always been a loyal and dedicated member of our team, that goes out of her way to make sure customers are satisfied,” he says.

My experiences at Datamax:

“I feel like the roles (since the acquisition) are more defined.You really feel like you’re accomplishing something. I also love that they promote within the company. It’s not just talked about, it’s really happening.

Kellie, over her years with hands in so many roles, has served as a mentor to new employees, a “Go-to” for answers as the ClientCONNECT team works to resolve customer issues. And a real team player throughout the process.

What makes me want to stay at Datamax?

"It feels like home. The relationships that you build. I feel like I have responsibilities that are important to our success. If feel like if I ever left, I’d be letting my teammates down.”
