A whole new experience!

Pros

I am on my third professional opportunity since college and none have been like my time at CED. I can honestly say the team atmosphere was the best I have ever experienced. CED hires great people and their managers build great teams. After 3+ years, I don't want to leave. If it were for my family business needing my help I would have stayed much longer. While working there, our location always felt like it was our own business. Upper management never tells you how to run your business. They relied on us to know are customers and our market.

Cons

Being a private company it is hard to research them on the web. I interviewed with the PC manager 4 times before being hired. It took that long to fully grasp the how the company does business.

Pros

Company has been in business for a long time and has many employees with years of industry experience. Although generally very knowledgeable and fair, some managers are better than others and experience will vary from one location to another. Profit sharing motivates employees.

Cons

Staff is aging and younger employees are needed.

Good Job, Bad Career

Pros

Job security, it is hard to get fired. steady pay check with a reasonable bonus if you are at a good location. If you have an excellent manager this is a great company.

Cons

The Manager determines everything and most are too busy for new employees. The pay is bad. Usually there is very little training even in the "training program." The skills you learn are only useful in electrical distribution. There is often little communication with management and the computers and equipment are old and out dated.
