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).

Pros

I spent 28 years at the Corporate headquarters in Westlake Village, CA before the location was moved to Irving, Texas. I consider my co-workers a part of my extended family. I knew them personally and miss them a lot.

Cons

I believe the move to Texas was a negative for the company. They lost a lot of loyal employees that had spent their careers building up the company.

Pros

I like that I have flexible hours as a part time employee. Most of my co-workers are fun and I enjoy the warehouse vibe.

Cons

My manager is not a nice man, the building is falling apart, the other part of my co-workers are helpless and annoying...need I go on?
