APX: Filing team


I work at APX which is an alarm security system office at the Riverwoods in Orem. It pays really good and the work is super easy. We basically get bundles of contracts from from sales representatives from all around the US and put them in folders, label it, make sure the information is correct and things like that. Sounds tedious but I love it. I think I enjoy the work because as the “filing team” does it we get to listen to music and talk all day. We come up with the strangest conversations sometimes. One guy isn’t Mormon and we’ll have religious conversations and it’s just interesting to give his point of view on things.

The company treats us really well too. Every week will have a designated pizza day, ice cream day or anything along those lines. One week we all were working a lot of overtime hours and they order us Coldstone ice cream and another day we got CafĂ© Rio. Our break room has air hockey, futsal and ping pong. APX also has hired out this masuse to give the employees free massages. Each department gets a turn every few weeks. It was our departments turn last week and I decided to sign up. I was nervous because I’ve never had a massage before. But my back was hurting and it sounded like something I wasn’t going to regret. It was great. It was only 15 minutes but well worth it.

A couple nights ago we had a department BBQ at our boss’ complex. There was a basket court, pool, playground, club house and a pavilion. It was so much fun. Brooks and I went on the playground reminiscing our elementary years. We didn’t bring swim suits so we just waded our feet in the nice warm water. It was so fun. I really enjoy my job mostly because I like the people I work with. The filing team used to have seven people and each use to have a designated dwarf name. I was nominated “Happy” which I was pleased with. Work is great. I’m so grateful I’ve work at APX and having the experiences I’m having.

I enjoyed reading the details of your work atomophere and party. I'm glad you are "Happy" and not "Dopey". Keep up the great work.
