Why PAC?

We provide Medical Courier services, so we have to ensure lab samples stay safe and patient information remains confidential. The deliveries will typically go from one medical facility to another instead of to a private residence. When working for a legal firm or financial institution, confidentiality is also essential. These deliveries typically involve paperwork instead of larger packages. The main difference between these industries is the type of items being delivered, which can affect how much care, how much attention to detail we pay to the paperwork and the effort that goes into making these deliveries. 

The key to being a great Courier is to be thorough and efficient ensuring packages are delivered on time. Great couriers take pride in protecting the items they deliver and do what it takes to get them to their destination in the same condition they received the items. Being good with people is another key quality, since Couriers interact with customers on the sending and receiving ends of the transaction. A good sense of direction and the ability to follow directions are important for Couriers to find their destinations quickly. Successful Couriers appreciate variety and can handle dealing with fast-paced deliveries. 

These are the types of Couriers that Paragon Accelerated strive to bring on our team. If you feel like you have what it takes to be a PAC Courier, please feel free to Apply.
