Jaclyn Gillespie


Jaclyn Gillespie came to the Ziegenfelder Company in 2018 as a Second Chance hire. Jaclyn started with the company in production as a boxer. Within two weeks of starting with the company, the Ziegenfelder Company experienced a fire that halted production. Jaclyn was worried she would find herself out of work and struggling to find a job. Although Production was halted, The Ziegenfelder company has a one tribe mentality and was not going to leave their tribe without work. The company arranged for tribe members to take classes at Northern Community College during clean-up. Jaclyn found this act by the company inspiring, and further instilled her loyalty to the Zieggy Tribe. After a year working in Production, Jaclyn became a Trainer. Ziegenfelder provided her with a leadership mentor and classes that allowed to fully execute her new responsibilities with confidence. Today, Jaclyn is a Quality Technician and Chairperson of the CI Tribe. The CI Tribe is a team put in place to help improve the everyday operations of The Ziegenfelder Company. Personally, Jaclyn has achieved many milestones in her life journey since joining the Zieggy Tribe. She attributes her personal successes to the Zieggy family, “My experience here has taught me to be a more responsible person and to want to do better”.

After graduating from West Liberty with a degree in Graphic Design and minor in Advertising & Communication, Allison accepted a Graphic Designer position with the Zieggy Tribe. Outside of eventually joining the team, Allison believes her internship at Ziegenfelder had her fully prepared for the working world. “This was my first internship so I didn’t know what to expect. I was shocked that I was actually working on design projects as an intern. I feel like interns usually do busy work, but not here. Ziegs helps you develop your skills and challenges them. Which is great because there’s opportunity for growth”. Allison believes that Ziegenfelder provides you with the tools for success, “Be open minded, there’s a lot of opportunities here, and everybody is always willing to help you succeed.
