Pros

I have been here for almost 2 years. I have had two promotions and a ton of opportunity for growth. I came into this job not knowing anything about the industry, but learned quickly that product knowledge comes with time. However, Palmer Donavin is looking for people who are willing to work hard and have great customer service. The management notice who puts in the work and says yes to every opportunity. This is has been a great job that is turning into a lifelong career.

Cons

Training could be more hands-on and extensive.

Pros

- Structured onboarding process: each new CSR is assigned a veteran of the staff to serve as a mentor and guide us newbies through the different functions and cultural quirks of the business. We also had monthly touch-base meetings with our direct supervisor, which made it so I always had a sense of how I was progressing and what I could work on. - Collaborative small-team environment: there are people from all walks of life and lots of different levels of experience, but the common thread among us is a desire to help one another out. Palmer-Donavin is a B2B distributor as well, so the customer-service experience is a little less chaotic than a lot of traditional B2C jobs in this function. - Excellent primer in the functions, culture, and values of the company, and a tremendous springboard into a future here. - Employee-ownership means everyone has a common stake in the company's success - Lots of opportunities for professional development and internal advancement

Cons

- Helps to know someone inside--took a few tries/applications to get an interview

Great company with awesome hr right down to helpful team leads. Supervisor is big on we are all a team so if one department is slammed with high work load and another team is done in another department they are sent over to help. The Supervisor , team leaders are very respectful and help you in any way they can with your growth with in the company.

Cons

Dental insurance isn't the best but other than that it's a great place. I love my job!
