Pros

Executives seem friendly, and the facilities are nice. Lower level employees are nice, but they leave quickly, as they learn more about the company.

Cons

Where do I start? The company is living in ancient times hoping to keep up with technology. The staff has great tenure, but the younger generation of employees aren't given the proper training to learn back-dated systems, which is leading to high turnover.

Thank you for your feedback. CED has invested a lot into our systems and technology, especially within the las few years. With that said, our company is built around people. We still believe that our greatest asset is our people, so our technology is there to support the people in the business.

Pros

Every employee I have met has been incredibly friendly, and everyone goes out of their way to help you understand the electrical business.

Cons

Working for CED is not glamourous at all, and if you're looking for a high paying sales/ managerial job, this is not the company for you. The training program is VERY slow. A two year training program sounds like a decent amount of time to learn the business and go through each phase, but it is far too much time in each phase, and the management has no sense of urgency to move you through. Although you are learning things in each phase, much more could be done to understand the business. The compensation is also very poor compared to other positions, and profiit sharing does not enable you to reap the benefits of your hard work (assuming you sell a lot).
