Alex Nick

CO-OP Manager

Alex works for the Fortuna Ledge CO-OP Store. The training that was necessary for his job was business management, and it required lots of supervision. The highest education he received as a child was fifth grade.

He works in the office most of the lime with his book keeper Roberta Fitka. He works an average of nine hours a day, seven days a week. He is willing to work as long as they keep him employed. His boss is the CO-OP Board of Directors and Jerry Morman of ANICA.

His job responsibilities are: make sure the store is operating on a daily basis, insure that all employees do all necessary jobs, make sure everything is recorded from the following day, and always have smile on his face. Alex gets in return a salary of $1800.00 a month.

The best thing about his job is keeping busy every day. But the worst thing is he has NO days off and he is always having to catch up with behind items. His words to others are: "Complete school, go to college and you'll be able to take care of all your needs."
