A Quick Chat With Our Cityzen: Devin Rivera
Each month, we catch up with different City Electric Supply employees who bring talent, hard work, and determination to our company. Every one of the 3,500+ CES team members plays a vital role in our business and we are very proud of all of their accomplishments!
We had a chat with CES Vail Branch Manager Devin Rivera in Vail, Colo., for his outstanding excellence and work ethic since beginning his career with CES.
CES: How long have you worked with CES?
Devin: I’ve been with the company for six years.
CES: What is your position now and where did you start in the company?
Devin: I started with the company as a van delivery driver for about a year, and then I was promoted to outside sales rep of the Frisco Branch and now I’m the branch manager at the Vail branch.
CES: What is your biggest accomplishment/most proud moment while at CES?
Devin: My biggest accomplishment I’ve had so far at CES is being promoted to a branch manager. I’m able to manage and operate a business, which is not only fun, but very rewarding at the same time.
CES: What’s your favorite thing about working for this company?
Devin: The limitless opportunities. If you are willing to work hard and go the extra mile to reap the rewards, your opportunities are endless. I have heard a lot of success stories that have come through this company and I hope to be one in the future.
CES: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Devin: I enjoy working and playing in the mountains – with just a short commute, I have the best of both worlds. And working at CES is pretty close to a dream job, so in ten years I will definitely be here and hope to have built a very well-known and successful branch!
CES: What is one unique thing you do at work every day?
Devin: One unique thing about my day to day is the commute to and from work. Some days it is a miracle just to make it here while traversing icy, snow-packed roads on a 30-mile winding road! We call it the Leadville 500 race, where all the commuters see who can pass the most cars on blind corners and make it home the fastest. There’s never a dull moment, I love it!
CES Colorado South Group Manager Randy Birely nominated Devin for demonstrating hard work, talent, and determination he brings to CES.
Randy Birely: Devin has been with us since October of 2010 and is very much a rock for us. He has worked his way up from driving to sales rep, and now the branch manager of the Vail store due to his great personality and his willingness to put the weight of the world on his back, roll with it, and get things done successfully.
