As part of our 40th Anniversary celebrations, we have interviewed a number of people that have used our services over the years to get them to tell their stories about their work and about their experiences with Premier Personnel.
Mark has been working at Parian Logistics for the past 3 and a half years as an order picker in their ECommerce department. Mark feels that the job here suits him, he says it isn’t dirty, it isn’t heavy or noisy, and that allows him to really concentrate on his tasks and get them done efficiently. Parian has made it clear to him that he is the best at his position and they have the statistical breakdowns that prove it. He likes that he feels busy and that makes the time fly. He also appreciates that with this position he was able to get better pay and a benefits plan. He is a much-valued employee at Parian and they are grateful to have him and have used him to train new staff.
Mark came to Premier Personnel straight out of high school and joined our school-to-work program. We initially helped him get a job at Superstore that was a good starting point for him but he came to realize early on that it wasn’t necessarily the best fit for him as there were a lot of personal interactions with customers that he sometimes found difficult to work through. He was laid off and we assisted him to find something that was a better fit for his particular skills and personality. This led to a Shelf Straightener and Labeler job at McNally Robinson in Grant Park. He worked there for about 8 years and really enjoyed the position but they were never able to give him full-time hours. Mark wanted to be able to be more financially independent and asked Premier to help him find something with full-time hours and benefits and this led to him starting at Parian.
Mark has appreciated the support Premier Personnel has given him. “Premier has helped me get jobs I’m looking for and ones that I needed and I feel like this job has been going very well.” He looks forward to continued success at Parian and is grateful for the help he has received to get there. We are very excited to see Mark continue to flourish at Parian and to see him get opportunities to keep moving forward.
