Life in the Administration department at CWB National Leasing

By: Janet Seniuk, Public Relations Coordinator

A comprehensive understanding of the leasing process, a helpful and empathetic mindset and the ability to throw a great potluck – that’s our Administration crew!

After our sales team finalizes a lease agreement, our Administration department steps in to coordinate equipment registration and follow up with customers to make sure all required insurance is in place. Many busy and dynamic roles make up this 20-person department, and its main objective is to protect the interests of our customers and the company.

Allison Steeves is our Administration Manager. She’s been with CWB National Leasing for over 15 years, and here’s what she had to say when I asked her a few questions about her department:

What do you love about working in Administration?

The variety – no two deals are the same, so no two days are ever the same. You get to see and experience all the aspects of leasing and work with people from every department. If you work in Administration, you end up with a really well-rounded knowledge and expertise that can help excel your career with CWB National Leasing.

Who should work in Administration?

Someone who can easily bounce from one task to another. It’s fast-paced and things are always changing, so a candidate who can thrive in an atmosphere like that with a strong attention to detail would be a great fit. Also, someone who’s helpful in nature would fit in well – we’re all about teamwork.

What’s the most essential skill for working in Administration?

Adaptability. The ability to change what you’re doing on the fly is essential for success in Administration. We often have to change gears in the middle of doing something else, and it’s important to have people on board who can work with that and always keep things moving forward.

What’s the group vibe like in Administration?

We’re really team-oriented. We work hard together, and we also have a lot of fun together. Potluck lunches are a regular occurrence, and we like to celebrate birthdays with cake and decorations. We also dress up as a team at Halloween. Even though it’s a fast-paced atmosphere and we work hard to keep on top of it, we all know it’s important to joke around and have fun, too. Just recently, a number of our team members participated in Challenge for Life together, a 20-kilometre fundraising walk in support of CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
