Please help me congratulate Alyssa Tallarico on becoming Sunless' August Employee of the Month! Alyssa started with Sunless back in October 2023 and has been instrumental during her first 10 months onboard. Not only did she onboard during a time of big transition between our old payroll system to our new system, but also right before one of the busiest times of the year for HR and recruiting. Alyssa didn’t shy away from the challenges she faced to learn all about a new company, new people, and a new system, but made it her mission to ensure staffing levels maintained stable throughout her first busy season in our production and distribution areas. She worked determinedly to fill all openings within just a day or two. Alyssa is very deserving of this recognition as she has done an outstanding job, and we are excited to see what amazing contributions she will have over the next several years! Outside of work, Alyssa enjoys going to concerts, playing volleyball, finding new hiking trails, and going to farmer's markets. She also loves spending time with her boyfriend, friends, family, and her dog, Gidget! Congratulations Alyssa!
