“ 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 .”
