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

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad

Cons

Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
