Pros

Wholesale distribution of construction and electrical supplies and services is a need.

Cons

The employee owner environment and culture lends itself to unprofessional behaviors and leadership practices. Work here for money, so not to make a difference in this world or on the job. The culture of this is how we’ve always done things is glazed with a thin layer of we want to be transformative and competitive. However, it takes a act of god to transform and even then it is done slower than a government agency
