"ARC Relocation enjoys a very close relationship with PCH! In fact PCH receives more corporate housing bookings for ARC than any other provider! The reason? Team Work! PCH's responsiveness and customer service is second to none! Prior to onboarding PCH it was difficult for ARC to find a temp housing provider who really excelled at customer service and truly embraced "Team Work". "Now that we have PCH I don't know how we ever serviced our clients without them! They are amazing!" said one ARC Employee survey. ARC uses PCH for temporary housing across the united states but PCH has stepped up in more ways than just employee relocation. When an employee in CA lost their home in the fires, PCH responded on the weekend, and had the employee set up the next day! Now that is Team Work!!"
