“ Our employees need to be self starters who are also not afraid to be given a task,” Chandler said.“ They need to give their full attention to detail.”
Chandler also looks for loyalty. He said he does not like to hire job jumpers who go from one company to the next chasing a small increase in pay.
Workers who constantly change companies never learn their jobs well and do not put themselves in a position for large pay raises, Chandler said.
“ The key to being successful in your career is to figure out what you are passionate about and work in that field,” Chandler said.“ Set goals, push yourself, and have a great work ethic.”
“ We focus on giving back to our employees,” Chandler said.“ They are all like our family members.”
Family is at the company’ s core. The family-owned business began as an agricultural equipment manufacturer and distributor in Batesville, Arkansas.
Chandler Equipment relocated to Springdale in 1982. Chandler and his father, Jeff, now the company President, purchased the business in 2007.
“ We try to look out for each other, because everything we do impacts everybody else in the company,” Chandler said.“ If someone on our team is not successful, it limits our company’ s potential.”
If you are interested in joining the Chandler team, you can apply through the company’ s website or in person at 4180 W. Sunset Ave. in Springdale.
