Dexter Axle (non-drive axles for RV/Trailers) is where I started my career directly after receiving my B.A. in Business Administration. I actually interned in the HR department of their Rim and Wheel facility during my last semester of school. I was encouraged to apply for their highly competitive Management Trainee program and was selected as one of three trainees that year. I completed the two (2) year Management Trainee program and was asked to join the Manufacturing Engineering department as an Industrial Engineer/Cost Reduction Coordinator. After three (3) years, I expressed my desire to join the Human Resources team, where I spent a short amount of time as the HR Generalist at the corporate office, before being promoted to the HR/Safety Manager at a new “Chassis Group” location (formerly AMFAB). Unfortunately, the beginning of an economic recession caused Dexter Axle to shut down or consolidate facilities. After finding out that my facility was slated for consolidation, I chose to accept a position at Royal Outdoor Products, but will always be grateful for my time with Dexter Axle.
