Pat's agency has been a balance of professionalism and genuine &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;interest&lt;/span&gt; in his customers and his team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the minute you walk through the door, you are greeted with enthusiasm and smiles from all the team members. You feel you are welcome! The warmth of the agency shows through when communicating with each other, as well as Pat's customers. It has always been a fun and interesting office to be a part of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pat's unique office approach to a highly competitive industry has taught us we can be successful and happy. I certainly understand why his team members have been with him for many years, and why others want to work for him. I know it has always been my 1st choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temporary Insurance Professional&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008436117758306404-3481658143219369578?l=workinghereisfun.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9008436117758306404/posts/default/3481658143219369578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9008436117758306404/posts/default/3481658143219369578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://workinghereisfun.blogspot.com/2009/06/successful-and-happy-what-concept.html' title='Successful and Happy---What a Concept'/><author><name>The Healey Agency Team</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18422461023970880058</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__0WcYR2eto0/S8Q5KT-yP4I/AAAAAAAAAGU/WfGnxBMuk2o/S220/Pat%27s+Professional+Photo.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008436117758306404.post-4713137220219297811</id><published>2009-06-22T06:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T07:40:13.364-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Committed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Encourage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supported'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flex Time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big Vision'/><title type='text'>An Office Managers View-Why You Would Really Like Working Here!</title><content type='html'>Pat and I have worked hard to build a culture of fun and success at the agency. Pat's &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Big Vision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;create&lt;/span&gt; a business where people really do like going to work in the mornings. Where they have friends. Where they feel challenged and supported, consistently complimented and recognized for everything they do. We believe living a balanced lifestyle is number one. We &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;accommodate&lt;/span&gt; the preferences of committed employees and encourage staff to work in the position that meshes with their personal priorities and interests. We take pride in what we do and we know our efforts are worthwhile and rewarding. This is a place where people want to stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;accommodate&lt;/span&gt; the preferences of our committed employees, we offer flex or full time opportunities. We value team oriented people who are enthusiastic, even tempered, and have a deep sense of purpose and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;commitment&lt;/span&gt;. We would love to add to our team more members who believe in setting and sharing big goals. Our aim is to always be in the top 10% of producers in the Portland metro area!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm about to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;celebrate&lt;/span&gt; 20 years working for and with Pat in the agency. He is a wonderful employer and works everyday at making the business a fabulous place to work. He has always believed in the concept of "giving back." Over the past two years Pat has written and published two books to help employees find more joy in their jobs and business owners create workplaces that attract and retain the best employees.

After I had my 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; child, my plan was to be a stay at home mom. I never wanted to put my career before my family. After a few months of being home, I missed everything about my job; my team members who are also my friends, the clients with whom I have built relationships with and my boss (crazy, I know!). I work 4 days a week and have a perfect balance between work and family. I now know you don’t have to give up one for the other. Actually, I am a better wife and mother because of it. Pat has inspired me to never settle and has given me the confidence I need to be successful at whatever I choose to do. The opportunity for growth in this agency is limitless and I am the only one who will determine my level of success. With the support I have from Pat and my team members, the options are abundant!

I was excited to interview with Pat’s office even though I knew they were not looking to add to their team at that time. Pat’s office had a reputation of success and I wanted a chance to interview in the hopes that if a position became available I would be strongly considered. It only took one interview to discover that what Pat had to offer fit me to a T. His team had the look and feel of success but I also recognized quickly how much everybody enjoyed what they were doing. By the third interview I was pleasantly surprised by the great sense of humor everyone had in the office…even the agent! I now work for Pat and I have to tell you I really appreciate the little things that take place in this office; like closing down for a long lunch at the park or local restaurant, our summer hours which allow us to come in 30 minutes later then usual. Pat &amp;amp; Linda, his office manager of 20 years, have been so great at the little things that show we are appreciated as employees. I’m so happy I made the right choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- DR&lt;br /&gt;Account Representative&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008436117758306404-412019010781239936?l=workinghereisfun.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9008436117758306404/posts/default/412019010781239936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9008436117758306404/posts/default/412019010781239936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://workinghereisfun.blogspot.com/2008/07/finding-pat-healey-was-success.html' title='Finding Pat Healey was a SUCCESS!'/><author><name>The Healey Agency Team</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18422461023970880058</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__0WcYR2eto0/S8Q5KT-yP4I/AAAAAAAAAGU/WfGnxBMuk2o/S220/Pat%27s+Professional+Photo.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008436117758306404.post-7860955279953030529</id><published>2008-07-28T21:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-13T02:45:27.089-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='employer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='career'/><title type='text'>What my job is like...</title><content type='html'>I came into this agency as the number one go-to girl from a competitor company.
