Over the last few weeks, PGT has attended two career fairs- one at the University of Cincinnati and one at Miami University (Oxford, OH).
Pat & Kandra represented PGT and introduced thousands of students to the logistics world! Thank-you to all the students who took the time to meet with them and express interest in PGT.
We look forward to attending more in the future and adding some new faces to our team!
Twenty-one years ago. Some days it still feels like yesterday.
Take time today to remember all those that were tragically killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Remember.
Pray for the families who are reliving this nightmare over and over again.
Never forget.
Thank all the first responders and military who responded and saved as many lives as possible.
There aren’t any words to explain the loss and heartbreak our country felt on 9/11, and the days following, all those years ago. We just have to remember, honor, and live our lives in the memory of those that had theirs unexpectedly taken away. As we come together to remember and honor those we lost, let’s also remember the unity that occurred!
Did you know PGT is just over two years old? We’ve seen a lot of continuous growth in that short time in many areas of the business. One of those areas is in people. We have almost 10x more people than we did two years ago.
With exponential growth in personnel comes important change. It was vital for management to implement additional benefits- and 401k was one of the first!
PGT offers 401k with company match. Yes, you read that right. A company added this important life benefit before being in business for two full years. Why? Because it’s important to help our team plan for their future. No one wants to work the rest of their lives- no matter how much we love where we work, right? We want to help our associates when that long awaited retirement becomes reality.
After you’ve been with PGT for 90 days, you are eligible to participate in our 401k program. You are able to choose the type of program you participate in so that your future is in your control! Then, the best part! The company will match 100% of the first one percent of your total contribution. After that, PGT will match 50% of the next five percent of your contribution. Yes, that means, we are matching up to 6% of your contribution!
So why wait? Come join us! Create a steady, above average income now while setting yourself up for success later!
We have introduced you to everyone in our office to date (after months and months of spotlights!), so going forward, you will get to see who has joined our team in real time. We will introduce you to our newest associates each week!
Starting off this new trend is Troy Ranney. He joined our sales team at the end of August and is ready to hit the ground running! He brings 25 years of supply chain and operations experience to the table!
Troy is originally from Chesterland, Ohio, but spent his early childhood overseas because his father was in the Air Force. Most of that time was spent in Ipswich, England, before returning back to Ohio. He earned a business degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
He is happily married to his wife Rebekah and has two daughters, Emma and Addy. They have two family pets- a dog, Lenny and a cat, Lily. Playing the guitar and writing music are some of Troy’s favorite pastimes. He used to play music around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky on nights and weekends in his twenties after working all day in corporate America.
He also enjoys hiking in national parks and has spent a lot of hiking in Yosemite.
Being a lifelong Christian is the foundation of his values- in and out of the office. Troy is motivated by new challenges and becoming the best he can be, regardless of what he is doing.
“I love working with great people and the team PGT has assembled is a great one,” Troy shared. “I love the income potential and the fun environment!” How cool is it that he picked up on that environment in the interview process and being here for a week at this point? It goes to show you how true it really is. “My advice for someone joining our team is pretty simple: ask a lot of questions because everyone here is willing to help you succeed!”
No, it isn’t a typo. Sit back and think about that. You could be making $100k in no-time. Not enough? Make it $200k or $300k. You control how much you make! The commission is unlimited- just do the work to get you wherever you want to be!
The
benefits. Our list of benefits continues to grow as we grow. We currently
offer a 401k with a 401k match! We want you to be with us until you retire, so
let us help get you there. We pay a cell phone stipend and paid time off at
time of hire. In addition, we can get you set up with medical, dental and
vision insurance. Not bad for a company less than two years old, right?
The atmosphere. Relaxed. Casual. Fun. Sound good yet? PGT is all of those things and then some. We want everyone to enjoy coming to work. Sure, there are always going to be bad days, but we believe there are more good days than bad here. There are TVs going, music in the background, and often jokes and stories flying back and forth. We enjoy simple things like casual attire, walks around the building, flexibility, and team events outside of the office.
Growth potential. New company = endless opportunities. We have a solid staff that has laid the groundwork for success, now we just need you to help build the foundation of our future. As we grow, so do the opportunities. The potential to move up into various other roles is endless. You can do as much as you want with us and go as far as you want to go. You control your destiny when you work at PGT. How far do you want to go?
We have been sharing a monthly segment called Ladies in Logistics for a few months now. Instead of interviewing one of the other women in the office, Kandra took a different route this month. She interview Jake Garn, one of our top brokers. She asked him questions about how he views LIL, especially at PGT.
Jake has been in the logistics industry for almost four years. He has worked with his fair share of women in that time who have all been very successful. He shared some advice for ladies looking to break into the industry: “Just dive in and be prepared for a fast paced working environment.” He back-tracked after that and acknowledged that he’d actually tell anyone that, regardless of who it is.
When Kandra asked Jake if he sees a difference in how women are treated in the industry compared to men, he was very quick to answer “No, I believe our office goes out of the way to make sure everyone is treated equally. Our management makes it a priority to make sure everyone is given the same platform to be successful!”
He did admit that it wasn’t always that way everywhere he’s been. “It’s unfortunate, but some places and people don’t treat everyone the same and kind of look down on women in the industry,” Jake shared. “I’m proud to say it isn’t that way at PGT in any capacity. The reality is, the women at PGT actually rule our office when it comes down to it!”
Jeremy has be part of different aspects of logistics for years and has been in sales even longer.
What is better than combining the two?
The only thing we can think of is combining the two at Premier Global Transportation!
Take a quick listen to Jeremy’s story and find out why he chose to change the direction of his career and hop on board at PGT.
When you’re ready for a change, give us a call at 812-221-0210 and let’s chat!
One of our newest associates came to us as a referral by Erica! Lucky for her…he seems to be working out great 😉
Today we introduce you to Bryan Bellamy!
He was born and raised in Cincinnati and attended both Tiffin University and the University of Cincinnati. Bryan is a proud father to his three children: Joella, Quentin, and Sawyer. He says they are all phenomenal students and are great athletes. Quentin plays baseball year-round for his select travel team and the girls are loving soccer.
Bryan takes a lot of pride in his work ethic and being a genuinely good person. “I try to live by the motto ‘never look in anyone else’s bowl unless you are making sure they have enough’ and I make a point to teach my kids the same. Being kind and generous is the key to life,” he shared.
Bryan has coached soccer for a few years and loves spending the weekends riding side by sides and hanging out with his buddies. He even had had an opportunity to play baseball for the Minnesota Twins organization.
It is important to Bryan to improve every day. “We never stay in the same place, we are either moving forward or backward daily, so even the smallest improvement is heading in the right direction,” Bryan said.
Even though it hasn’t been long, Bryan has enjoyed his time at PGT so far. Why? He says it’s because everyone is friendly and willing to help and all the resources you need are always at your disposal and are top of the line.
“If the effort is put forth, you will succeed at PGT. The proof is all around the office,” Bryan explained. “It’s just a fun and enjoyable place to work because all the employees have a great sense of humor and are very down to Earth. If you have the opportunity to come to PGT and don’t, well, you’ve missed out! PGT is built different. The people really care and with hard work, success is inevitable!”
Erin hasn’t been with us long, but he wanted to give a slightly different perspective.
He came to us with industry experience, so he has other companies to compare us to. Sometimes it is important to hear those types of stories to fully understand that being part of PGT is truly a team effort.
The video is short and sweet, but he gets his point across!
Give it a quick listen and then give us a quick call at 812-221-0210 to be the next PGT family member!
If we’ve said it once, we’ve probably said it a million times, so what’s one more? We believe giving back to our community is not only the right thing to do, but it is necessary! So we did just that earlier this month.
Together with the PGT staff, our friends & families, we were able to collect enough supplies and donations to put together 27 backpacks for kids in need. We partnered with Clermont County Children’s Services so they could distribute the backpacks where they are most needed.
We also had some extra supplies that they will keep on hand to use as needed for various activities, visits, and requirements. Huge shoutout to everyone who donated and contributed in some capacity! We all made some kids smile today- and that’s what really matters when it is all said and done!
