Carrie Zaharoolis joined Break Time in February as an area manager to oversee seven Break Time stores in Columbia and a location in Ashland. Her responsibilities include meeting sales goals, ensuring quality consistency across her assigned stores, and hiring and training staff members. Zaharoolis says that jumping in to lend her team a helping hand whenever needed is another crucial part of her role as an area manager. She reports to Jennifer Bach, director of Break Time operations.
Zaharoolis is experienced with retail management from her time working as a district manager for Bath & Body Works. Her most recent role prior to joining Break Time was as an employee relations advisor for Lowe’s corporate office.
Since joining the Break Time team, Zaharoolis has noticed her co-workers’ willingness to help and support others.
“This is the best move I could’ve made,” Zaharoolis says. “Everyone has been phenomenal.”
Outside of work, Zaharoolis enjoys competitive formation skydiving. She’s made dozens of jumps from above 9,000 feet in the air. When she’s on the ground, she enjoys traveling and visiting the Grand Canyon.
