Submitted by: Bonnie Gringer, Online Marketing Manager Keep your eye on the target and dare to think outside the box! You never know if an uncertain vision you have today will become the seeds for tomorrow’s future! Think outside the box like the artists who were turned down or unrecognized for their work such as Van Gogh, a starving artist during his lifetime; Walt Disney who was told he “lacked imagination”; and Bach who was not recognized as a great composer in his time, but as an organist. Or authors such as, Agatha Christie whose work was rejected for five …
Submitted by: Laura Fain, General Manager Although I have been working since I was 14 years old, until now I have never worked for a company that cares so much about their employees and helps them become better people in their careers as well as their personal life. My drive and passion for everything I do is beyond this world! I go to great lengths to make sure everyone is taken care of and happy because I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t have a niche in this world. Being a survivor of domestic violence, I always …

Submitted by: Dora McCallay, Front Desk Coordinator II
I’m passionate about my family, my heritage, all people, and Texas, but most of all I am passionate about the people I work with and the work I do.

I have been fortunate to have supervisors that have given me the …

Submitted by: Savannah Kitchens, General Manager, Region 15 I am a single mother of two young girls.

I am also able to show my daughters that you can be a woman in a position of leadership. TitleMax has provided me the opportunity and motivation to further pursue my education, and after …
Submitted by: Melyssia Santiago, Regional Director of Operations, Region 5 I am the oldest of four children and was raised by an incredibly strong and dedicated mother. She taught us that you should be positive, enthusiastic, and always exhibit a can-do attitude because the only one that can hold you back is YOU! Because of my mother, I firmly believe that you have to visualize what you want and take the necessary steps to go after that goal. I began my career with the Company as a General Manager (“GM”) at TitleMax, and after successfully growing three stores within a …
Submitted by: Donna Smith In 2009, after 26 years in the automotive retail business in a finance support role, I was ready for a more personal challenge. I researched the TMX Finance Family of Companies and was an immediate believer! The excitement that exuded from the District Director I interviewed with was contagious. After all, how many companies are structured in transparency to allow every team member an opportunity to advance with unlimited earning potential? I began my career here as a Customer Service Representative and after six months of learning invaluable relationship-selling skills from a veteran store operator, I was …
Submitted by: Katelynn Migues I was always the girl who not only doubted herself, but who always seemed to be doubted by others. But ever since I was young, I have always found ways to do things on my own. I always saved money to get what I wanted before anyone could buy it for me and I would save hundreds! I knew what I wanted and I worked hard to make it happen. Through my experiences, I have learned to push myself to keep moving forward. I’m now 21 years old with a home I purchased for myself at …
