Good Comapany but HR is slow

Project Coordinator (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 15 November 2017

I enjoyed working here but the Managers seem only to care about themselves and don't care about there staff. I didn't feel welcomed by anyone at first and had to go out of my way to make conversations.

Entreprise en évolution au moment que j'y ai travaillé. La direction était en changement et la progression a été lente.

Standard warehouse enviroment

Warehouse Clerk/Wire Cutter (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 18 November 2016

It was a typical warehouse, with exception of utilizing proper motivation techniques for employees as a team. So it created uncertainty and anxiety of what the next day would hold.

Good introduction to the electrical world

Inside Sales (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 July 2015

Fantastic leaders, positive mentors, interesting work with a steady work flow.
I've learned a great deal about business, electrical contracting, and customer relationship dynamics.

The hardest part of my job is patience with people who don't have access to the same information I'm provided.
The most enjoyable part of my job is the challenges in my day-to-day work that keep me on my toes, and learning so much about the broad range of products available.

Fast paced, Competitve

Conter Sales (Current Employee) – Abbotsford, BC – 16 August 2012

I enjoy working with the people I do. There are only a few of us in the branch so we all know each other well and work good together.
A typical day for me is coming in and opening the branch. Completing the cash sales from the day before, replying to any emails and voicemails I have. Then move on to the cycle count for the day, and from there deal with counter and telephone sales and quotations.
The hardest part of my job would be some product knowledge. This is for the Allen Bradley line we carry of motor control. I learn as I go with this material, but have been waiting for a class to take through Westburne to gain more knowledge so I would be able to help and provide more solutions to the customer.
I enjoy working with the people I do and working in a fast paced, competitive environment.
