Graduates with Clark Associates

I started with WebstaurantStore as a paid intern during the winter of 2014, and after a couple of months I was asked to stay on as a full time writer. By the end of 2014, I was given much more responsibility and autonomy in my work, and in September 2015 I officially moved into my current role as a Marketing Writer. Now my daily tasks include writing marketing copy, proofing marketing materials, and working with other departments to create promotions, among a wide variety of other tasks. Every day offers a new challenge and the work is definitely not boring.
This job is just what I had been looking for since it gives me the opportunity to utilize my Professional Writing degree and practice different styles of writing across a wide range of projects. One of my favorite things about working here is the focus on doing the right thing, not just the easy thing. Plus, the extra benefits like free food, great coworkers, and a positive atmosphere don’t hurt either!

I started with Clark Associates – TheRestaurantStore.com in August of 2014 as a Customer Solutions Specialist and have only positive things to say about the company. My position consists of not only customer service transactions, but I also help with creating training manuals, correcting money discrepancies, and helping out wherever needed. The best part about being here at Clark is that you have many opportunities to expand on your professional career and are noticed and appreciated for the hard work that you do. I have really enjoyed my time here and am looking forward to the future with the ever-expanding Clark Associates!
Another great thing about working here is the people. Everyone here is so helpful and always willing to answer questions. You are able to be yourself here and show your personality! One more benefit to working here is the weekly educational product trainings. Having come into this company with limited knowledge of the Food Service Industry, this has helped me greatly!

After graduating from Kutztown University in 2011, I spent a few years working in education. However, I was never truly satisfied with what I was doing. I was looking for a career where I could spend my day helping people and that is how I found the WebstaurantStore. As a Customer Solutions Specialist, I love getting to work with people all across the country and help their businesses succeed. Getting to build that relationship with all of the customers I work with is truly a rewarding experience.

The community and support here at the WebstaurantStore is like nothing I’ve previously experienced. We have a strong team atmosphere where everyone is very encouraging and supports you as you continue to grow with the company. It is a great feeling coming into work knowing you’re appreciated and having some fun along the way.

After graduating from Kutztown University in 2014 with a degree in English / Professional Writing, I went to Austria for a month to volunteer at an English camp for middle and high school-age kids. When I got home, it was time to find a job, but I didn't know where I'd end up. I started at WebstaurantStore as a writing intern that summer, and two months later I was hired full time. In 2015, the Content Department created an Editing Team designed to improve the uniformity, accuracy, and clarity of content across the site, and I became one of its founding members. Helping to get this team up and running has been very rewarding, and I look forward to new opportunities here!

One of my favorite things about working at WebstaurantStore is that I'm encouraged to think freely and creatively. I respect all of my coworkers for their hard-working, positive attitudes, and they make me feel valued, as well. I love using what I learned at Kutztown to make a tangible difference, and this collaborative, productive atmosphere is the perfect place to do just that.
