Catherine Miskey- Keeping Spirits High
Energetic Employee Loving Life At West Herr
In a company of 1100 employees, you need problem solvers. Warranty administrator Cathy Miskey is just that.
“Every day my job is like solving a puzzle,” Cathy said. “I love how much investigation I do on a daily basis.”
Catherine Miskey’s job is to handle warranty claims and make sure payments go through as smoothly as possible. It goes without saying that the money collector is vital to any business. The role has her often running the gamut of emotions.
“We just got paid on a claim from November and I was dancing in my office,” Cathy said. Based on her lively disposition, it’s clear she was not exaggerating in the least.
Cathy Miskey’s love for her work stems from the job itself but also the West Herr family. She worked at the West Herr Chevrolet of Orchard Park building when it was still Daniel Chevrolet. She admits she was nervous when West Herr bought the building, but in the long run it worked out.
“I remember being terrified, but the day West Herr bought Daniel Chevrolet turned out to be one of the best days of my life,” she said. “I have no plans on leaving West Herr.”
Cathy says West Herr works hard to maintain a family atmosphere by only hiring dedicated people. Loyalty to the company naturally follows.
“If you work hard, they will always find a spot for you,” she says. “West Herr truly is a family.”
Cathy Miskey’s personal life ties into her love for piecing things together. She does garment work such as sewing quilts. She also recently discovered Geocashing, which essentially is a scavenger hunt powered through the internet. However, the true source of her happiness is though is her family. She has two sons with her husband of 39 years, Frank.
“I live in a nice house, my family is healthy and I love my job, what else can I ask for in life?” she said with a smile. With that outlook, Catherine Miskey will be dancing again sometime soon.
