TMX Talks — News. Updates. Events

I began my career journey as a Senior General Manager at the TMX Finance® Family of Companies in August 2014 in Memphis, TN. In my first six months with the Company, I worked at almost every location in the area, which gave me valuable experience for when I was placed in my permanent store on Austin Peay Highway. With experience at various stores in the area along with consistent initiative and hard work, shortly after joining the Austin Peay Highway team, I became a Certified General Manager Trainer. My leadership saw my growth potential and offered me a stretch assignment …

Over the past 13 years with the TMX Finance® Family of Companies, the most special part for me has been the people: leadership, peers, and customers alike. I always keep an open mind to learn something from everyone, and my end goal is for everyone to leave an interaction with me with a huge smile on their face. All the people at the Company matter, and they deserve to feel the same happiness and joy they bring me. When I started in 2010, I joined the Company as a Customer Service Representative, an entry-level position. After my initial 90 days …

Later this month, I will be celebrating nine years with the TMX Finance® Family of Companies. I started with the Company in 2014 as a Store Manager. In 2017, the Company began focusing more on visions – visions for the Company, visions for the teams, and visions for yourself. Our teams created vision board to really help us see and work towards our future. On my board, I put a goal to move to from my hometown, Overton, TX, and start a new life in Dallas, TX. Five months later, I earned a promotion to General Manager and was given …

September has always been my favorite month; not only is September my birthday month, but it’s also a month where we recognize women’s health and fitness. The last Wednesday in September marks a national day to bring awareness to the importance of regular physical activity and overall wellness health for women. Personally, I have been focused on my health for several years now, and I have loved to see how I’ve reached out to others about my fitness journey and help inspire their own.  While we celebrate Women’s Health and Fitness Day in September, we also celebrate Family Health and …

My name is Shelley Hotchkiss, and I am a District Director of Operations in St Louis, Missouri. I’ve just celebrated my one-year anniversary with our wonderful Company in March and I’m grateful for this opportunity to share another title I’m proud to hold: “Molly’s Mom.” Becoming a mom is hands-down the greatest thing I’ve ever done. My daughter, Molly, is the center of everything I do. She is my “Why.”  Molly was diagnosed with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when she was nine-years-old. Autism is rarely a single diagnosis; Molly also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Anxiety and …

I was raised in a Lebanese and Mexican household with three brothers. Growing up, I felt suppressed and was told how women should act and what we can and cannot do. But since I am stubborn, outspoken, and strong-willed, I proved, not only to myself but to others, that the expectations the world has for women are not always right. By sharing a few of my accomplishments while working at the TMX Finance® Family of Companies, maybe I can inspire other women, girls, and -most importantly -my daughter to take action, work hard for what they want, keep their heads …

When you begin a career journey, you aim to find a place that is going to be where you want to retire from. A career is separate from a job. A career is somewhere you can invest in the company and they will invest in you. Before I began my journey with TitleMax® I was a department manager at a local grocery store. I felt as if I had met my growth potential in my current role and wanted to expand into something I am more passionate about. I decided I wanted to work in the finance industry because I …

During the pandemic, I discovered I was on the high-risk list because of my high blood pressure and my weight. So, I decided to take control of my health and well-being again. I was at my heaviest weight and very unhappy. My weight gain started while attending college and working full time. I didn’t have time to exercise, and I was eating on the go between work and school. Once I graduated college, I started to work a lot, so I didn’t make time to exercise and was still eating very unhealthily. I knew if I lost weight, I could …
