How is Jarrett “different” compared to other company cultures you may have experienced?
Jarrett is more open to change than any company that has employed me. Jarrett is also much more open to the opinions and suggestions of its employees. It’s very refreshing to know your opinion is valued.
How is Jarrett “different” compared to other competitive, similar services?
I can’t think of another company that offers all the services Pack Ship USA/Jarrett Warehousing does. We pack and ship anything, big or small. And the quality of care we put in to packaging can’t be found elsewhere!
Ask a co-worker: What difference does JD make at Jarrett?
Brandon Schlabach – JD makes a difference at Jarrett by making the Leola branch function smoothly day to day. He provides great customer support for not only our largest customer, but all of our customers at the Leola branch. JD is a key factor in PackShip Leola’s overall success.
Name a time you felt valued or appreciated by someone at Jarrett or by a customer?
We delivered a sewing cabinet to a home in Massachusetts. It took some problem solving to get it inside the split-level home but once we had everything set up, the customer was so grateful and showed us her quilting projects. It was uplifting to make a customer so happy.
We are grateful to have J.D. here at Jarrett. If you are interested in being a part of our team, visit our careers page.
