The End of an Era

Anyone who has visited PCM regularly over the years knows Josh. He has been a staple at Pontiac Cove for nearly two decades. An institution, if you will. I often thought he might be here forever. That as long as Pontiac Cove was around, Josh would be around, too.

So, it's with a bit of sadness this morning (even though he irritated the heck out of me sometimes) that I announce he is no longer with the company. He was offered another job, and he decided he was ready for a change. We fully support his decision, and we wish him all the best in his new endeavor. He isn't moving, which means he is still right down the road. And he will likely still do a few side jobs for us in his free time.

Josh started working at PCM as a kid nearly 20 years ago. It was a summer job at first, but over the years his role evolved and grew into a full-time position; in fact, he's the only full-time employee we have besides family. He has a lot of skills and talents, and his dedication and loyalty to our company has been truly admirable. If there was a storm, he was usually one of the first ones here to check things out. If we had a big snow, you could find him on the roof of a dock with a shovel in his hand.

So, as you can imagine, we're now on the hunt for his replacement! The job description is lengthy, so I won't post it all here. It's a jack-of-all-trades kind of position. In short, this person will oversee the maintenance on all the docks, campground and at Lake Harbour Resort. There will be routine duties and maintenance as well as spur-of-the-moment fix-it situations to be handled. Close proximity to Pontiac would be a major plus. If you or someone you know is interested in the job, please call us at 417-679-3676 or 417-989-0688 or email info@pontiaccove.com for more information. The marina isn't open for the season yet, so please do not drive down here without talking to someone first - just in case we aren't around. You can also pick up applications at Ozark County Gas in Gainesville.
