Probably the largest employer in Monroe, if not Green County, is The Swiss Colony, or known now as their new identity as Colony Brands, Inc. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be in Wisconsin again, nor would we be able to enjoy all the interesting things we have done since we have been here. My wife works for them in the apparel side of it and has made quite a name for herself, in bringing new ideals and practices to her department. My journey to the "Colony" has a bit of a different story. I began working for them almost exactly a year ago when I found myself unemployed suddenly. I started as a seasonal employee packing all the goodies that we love to indulge on, petit fours, butter toffee, and cheesecake. I asked to move to the baking side of it so I could learn a different part of the business and not be bored. Long story short, while I'm still considered "seasonal", I've been working continuously since last September and I feel like I've worked hard enough to have a good reputation as a hard worker and fast learner.
I took this picture after leaving work tonight as I felt that the sun was setting at the right time to showcase the colors of the flowers and the warm tones of the company sign against the building. Although you can't see it, the sprinklers were on, so I took one for the team in order to get the shot I wanted. I discovered that there were a few more stories I wanted to tell around the front of this building, so there will be more in a future post.
