International Women's Day 2023
April 11, 2023
“The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States on 28 February. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honor of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.”

In today’s evolving society it’s important to keep elevating and celebrating women in the workplace. I couldn't be more honored to profile the amazing women I am privileged to work with every day. We are building a workplace where women thrive in a traditionally male dominated field. We are thankful for our progressive employers of BenFranklinPlumbing, OneHourHeatingandAir, and MisterSparkyElectric of Pleasantville who know our value and support and encourage our growth.
Without further ado, our amazing female employees:

Alyssa Phillips
My name is Alyssa, I have worked in the call center since August 15th, 2022. My priorities are making sure the technicians’ schedule is booked up for the next day. Also, making sure customers are pleased with our service and technicians; which is done by giving a call to every home our companies have been in. I have been with the companies for such a short time, but I genuinely love what I do’ and see myself staying put for a while. I am excited to continue to learn new things every day, from life lessons from my co-workers, to learning about homeowners’ needs that I will apply to my own life one day!

Destynee Pomales
I started working for the family business in 2011, when I was 14 years old, filing all our invoice paperwork and putting marketing packets together. After a few months I advanced into a CSR role, and by the summer of 2013 I was dispatching. After high school I moved to Tampa to pursue a degree in hospitality management at University of South Florida. Upon completing my bachelors I decided to move back to NJ and continue to work in the family business. I got right back into dispatching but also learned the ins and outs of our field service management software to better advance our company as we continue to grow.
Karen Sweitzer
I am the marketing manager, and dispatcher for Ben Franklin Plumbing. I have worked here for 2 years, and counting. I love this company, and all the people I work with.
