Working at Tootsie Roll these last three years in the credit department, have been exciting and challenging. My job is collecting payment on invoices and resolving issues that customer’s may have. I have learned a lot about how every department plays their part for success. Building relationships with customers & coworkers by finding out their needs, helps make the payment process run smoother. We are always changing and learning which is what makes working here great. My favorite part of all is all the different types of candy we make & eat here. I am happy to be a big kid in a candy store. -Suellyn, Credit Analyst
