Customer Service Representative/Route Service Representative – Abbey Glen Pet Memorial Services

Quakertown, PA Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday – 6am-4pm (10-hour shifts) Full-Time (40 hours + overtime as needed) Pay Range: $21.00–$24.00/hr (based on skills and experience)

Before You Apply — What This Role Requires

This is not a desk job and not a traditional driving role.

As a Customer Service Representative (CSR) at Gateway, you are the primary, face-to-face representative of our company to veterinary clinics and, at times, pet parents. You work independently, manage a demanding route, and handle pets in emotionally sensitive situations with precision, professionalism, and care.

This role is physically active, emotionally real, and operationally critical. From the moment a pet is entrusted to you, everything downstream depends on your accuracy, reliability, and judgment.

If you take pride in doing meaningful work, value professionalism, enjoy building relationships, and are comfortable with physical and emotional responsibility, this role can be deeply rewarding.
