Pros

Profit Centers run individually, but still have corporate offices to back them up. Relaxed dress code. Opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Profit sharing can be great, can be nothing. Benefits are just ok. Salaries are typically lower than other companies

Career Opporunity with CED

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

When I initially interviewed with CED, it was under the guise of a “practice interview” from a career services department at my school. Since CED is still a privately owned company, there really wasn’t much information at the time on us. Over the past 16 years, I’ve moved up from a management trainee to a profit center manager and now a district manager. What CED really offered me was opportunity to have control over my own success. I have always been a competitive athlete, and subsequently believe that if you put in the work you should have a realistic opportunity to be successful. CED has provided that environment for me and it has been a very good career choice.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges with CED is finding out who we are. There is a great website, Cedcareers, that paints a good picture, but I would encourage potential candidates who are thinking about CED as a career to reach out to a local profit center and sit down with the manager. If you are someone who needs constant feedback on how they are doing, this may also not be a fit for you. The kind of person that excels in our culture is someone who is self-motivated and does not need constant reinforcement. Self-motivated entrepreneurs are the best fit for CED.
