The Branch Manager Makes the Difference - Inside Sales Representative Consolidated Electrical Distributors Employee Review

Pros

Very small business feel considering the size of the company. Interactions with management are very personal, and generally leave you feeling more like a person than a 'human resource'. Decent pay and benefits, very laid back industry in general.

Cons

The branch manager can make or break the entire experience. I haven't personally had a bad yet, but the autonomy given to the manager leaves employees in a precarious situation when there are changes. Also dealing with lighting vendors is a terrible experience.

Pros

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad

Cons

Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
