Success Story

Hello, my name is Marquise Jones. I started with Ōnin on 08/07/2023, and at that time it was only a goal to become a full-time Mercedes worker. I worked closely with my Group Lead and my Ōnin rep, Derek Drayton. With their lead and direction every obstacle that came my way I was able to hurdle over. Ultimately, on 03/09/2024 I was converted to Mercedes. When I was selected to be the success story for the start of 2025, it was very humbling, because at this time I have learned over 9 stations which makes me an asset to my team. Thank you for believing in me, Ōnin, and recognizing me as a star that shines bright even after I was converted.
