Save this list for next time you are having a bad day. It will help you remember why you got into this profession (both serious reasons and some just for fun) in the first place and what makes you want to stay here.
1) Opportunities to work with and learn about several aspects of your company's overall operations.
2) Great vendor gifts for the Purchasing Department at Christmas. (You know you loved that chocolate tower gift basket, admit it!)
3) Satisfaction in knowing you helped improve the profitability and stability of the company.
4) Power trip in telling co-workers from other departments that you can easily see to it that they won't get any more fun office supplies or flat screen monitors unless they cooperate with you.
5) Enjoyment of being involved in deciding what products or services your company will offer its customers. (Being the first to test out sample products or services for free.)
6) Insider knowledge of where all the money is spent. (You know which division orders the $700 wastebaskets, don't you? Yes, they really exist.)
7) Joy of spending money all day long without it ever increasing your credit card balance or decreasing your checking account!
