I worked here as a Job Coach in Clarksville. The company is well established, so expectations are generally clear from the start. In my experience, however, there was limited room for growth and advancement.

I felt that role placement was primarily determined by HR without much flexibility. Communication with management could sometimes be difficult, as meetings often needed to be scheduled in advance due to remote work arrangements. There were times when accessing necessary paperwork at the office was inconvenient.

Workload and hours varied. At times it felt like you either accepted less desirable assignments to maintain steady hours, or you ended up working overtime. That imbalance was challenging for me personally.

On a positive note, the administrative staff handling billing and paperwork were kind and helpful.

Overall, this may be a good fit for someone who prefers a structured, established system, but it was not the best long-term fit for my professional goals.

Extremely high turnover rate, and it’s not because the job is difficult but mainly because the people in a position of power are trash. The supervisors dictate where you go throughout your shift through batch selections, and they very much abuse their power with little to no oversight. I’m not too keen on solely placing blame on the supervisors, but also on the executives who allow a hostile workplace to exist for many people especially people of color and immigrants who can’t articulate what’s really happening to them. This warehouse is built on favoritism and nepotism and not how hard you work. If you’re disliked by anyone in a position of power (which doesn’t take much honestly) then it’s constant psychological games till you quit. I’ve witnessed coworkers and myself be put into unnecessarily cruel situations that have no operational value at all like say berating you with concurrent freezer batches or they’ll have you lift 60-90 pound meat boxes for 10-12 hour shift.

I've been at pdi for 4 years and things have just gotten worse. In all areas. Especially how they don't seem to care much about us but more about the job and money. I feel stuck and trapped sometimes. Just really not as happy there anymore. I feel they don't take care of their employees as they should. Pdi can do so much better. I used to love waking up and going to work. Now it's the opposite. I feel as if pdi is holding me back from what I could really be doing. It's good for exercise and pay is isnt bad. But the job itself isn't worth it. Not for me anyways. So much needs to change and it needs to start with how they treat and care for their employees. The ones that are the freaking backbone of the place. Save yourself the stress and body aches. Not worth it. I've had 3 hernia surgeries on 2 hernias. 2 surgeries when I was working at pdi!!! Not everyone has my experience, some are better than most, but don't let my review un encourage you. Try it out for yourself and see how it is! Hope this helps

Create and maintain client relationships to promote my products.  Make sure client is happy. That all concerns and needs are met.  This does involve a lot of critical thinking and one must posses a 'go with the flow and accept changes to the schedule for the day' attitude to accomplish keeping clients satisfied and let them know they're appreciated. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is creating solid, great relationships with clients and obtaining a great close.  The hardest part of the job was keeping everyone happy when my schedule changed due to another office's needs changing the daily schedule.

The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the fruits of my labor reflected in market share growth.

If you can do the job, selecting orders at the % of standard that the company expects can be challenging at first, with ample time to learn the job I feel most could become successful. I have learned a lot about the warehouse world and how orders get received, picked out and shipped from my short time working here. Management is mostly there to monitor progress so do with that what you will. Hardest thing here I would say is keeping up at 100% standard throughout the workweek if you aren't very physically inclined, this is a physically tasking job with constant movement. Best thing is competitive pay. 

As a PDI, or Pre-Delivery Inspector. One thoroughly inspects the RV before the company sells the RV to the clients. Workers that get paid flat rate maintain a fast work pace and a busy schedule. Each mechanic is pretty independent from the others but if one needs help with an installation or diagnosing a problem, there are lead mechanics to help. The hardest part of the job would be diagnosing problems with appliances on older RVs where there isn't much customer or tech support. Or new RVs that have just been released. Because RVs incorporate many things that can be found in an average household there is much to learn. From different style generators, sliding rooms, and automated circuitry.
