Get to Know Caroline Duncan
By 5 on July 27, 2020
Caroline Duncan started her career at 5 as a college summer intern in May of 2013. At first, she thought her internship might involve some filing, making copies and helping with ordinary office-related tasks. However, after two weeks she was on the front lines answering phones, processing price requests and interacting with 5’s energy advisors and supply partners. Many would have crumbled under the pressure and non-stop demands of serving both internal and external customers, but Caroline rose to the occasion and handled her work with great composure and an amazing attitude. Caroline became such a pivotal part of 5 that her supervisor promised to name her next child after her if Caroline promised to come back to 5 after she graduated from college. Caroline Duncan became a full-time employee in May 2014 and Caroline Thomas, her supervisor’s daughter, was born shortly thereafter.
