CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK 2024
Customer Service Week is Cushing’s annual celebration of our coworkers! This is sort of like a spirit week where we dress up, play games, and get together for our annual company party.
2024's Theme: Movie Marathon! 🎬
DRESS FOR IMPACT: ACTION FILMS
The first day of Customer Service Week 2024 was Action movies! We asked that everyone come dressed to represent a character or feature of their favorite action movie. We also played a few rounds of Name That Tune throughout the day.
DAY 2 WAS ALL ABOUT HORROR
WEDNESDAY WE HIT THE STAGECOACH AND HEADED FOR WESTERNS!
Dressed up like cattle and ranchers, the day included a good ol' fashioned Cowboy cook-off.
THURSDAY BROUGHT IN THE ANIMATED CHARACTERS
From classic cartoons to modern animation icons, Thursday was a colorful celebration of our favorite animated characters.
DAY 5: STRANGE MAGIC
AT LONG LAST, WE CONJURED UP OUR FAVORITE FANTASY CHARACTERS ON FRIDAY.
Friday night we celebrated our annual company party and award ceremony!
We celebrated anniversaries and handed out awards at our block party-themed party. Employees are recognized for going the extra mile and working hard every day throughout the year.
Also known as Most Valuable Coworker, the Cushing team votes in a secret ballot for their MVC pick.

The late Mike Duff was a Cushing leader who was always anticipating the next customer need. Not only passionate about new technology, he was creative about developing new uses for equipment already on the shop floor – and extremely enthusiastic about customer service. (He was also a lover of bonsai trees!)
THIS YEAR’S WINNER OF THE MIKE DUFF AWARD IS Meagan Arizpe!
The consummate professional, Carl Hansen was known for being a most thoughtful co-worker, great listener, and calm advisor to his peers regardless of their position in the company.
He was also an avid painter, so the winner of this award is given a Carl Hansen original!
THE 2024 CARL HANSEN AWARD GOES TO Amanda Eich!
Customers and coworkers who want to recognize an employee can email: gotheextramile@cushingco.com throughout the year. Votes are tallied and awards are presented at our company party.
