Who is Sylvie Rousseau?

I am from Ste-Agapit in the Chaudière-Appalaches region in Quebec. I am the 10th child in a family of 11 children. I started very young to work with my hands on the family farm. This is where I learned to love working hard. I am not able to sit still. You have to get moving and be busy, it's fun. Also, I am a person who loves life and to chat with everyone.

 

One word to describe you?

Caring. I'm someone who enjoys helping others and giving advice to get the job done the right way. Caring has been a part of me since I was very young. Often times, I would go and help my siblings when they needed it. I can be described as thorough too. I don't like the job to be half done.

 

What are your main roles at Ben-Mor?

I've been with Ben-Mor for 20 years now. I work as a production associate and also do the final product inspection. In the past, I worked as a sewing machine operator as well. In fact, I am a very versatile employee in production.

 

What do you like the most about working at Ben-Mor?

I like being able to work with others and specially to learn new working techniques. Plus, I love the factory environment, the smell of steel it gives off, the machines that work, the people who work hard and the work environment where everything happens very quickly. Plus, what I love about my job is to finish an order. The reason is very simple, it is to clean my workspace to better start the next order.

 

Can you share a fun fact about yourself?

It's not a funny fact, but I had a moment to chat with Pauline Marois when she visited the factory a few years ago. I discovered a great woman and she inspired me a lot.
