Meet Pepe and Teresa Torres. I was so impressed with their methods of hiring, mentorship and management. They have ways of hiring from outside the industry that really work. Pepe and Teresa are a team that have developed a way to mentor and train . They hire and develop the workers to fill the needs of the shop. As each worker develops they are given new opportunities . Are you ready for this???? The team at Austin consists of more female than male workers. Teresa shares thoughts on charging for your value.
