ABC Supply Co.

ABC Supply is a great company to work for in terms of job security for drivers and a company to be proud of with their footprint in the country. The problem is, each branch is ran as it's own entity with few branches willing to work together or help each other. This gives each branch manager a sense of invincibility they don't have to answer to anyone and can treat people poorly. The company does profit sharing but that creates another problem. You can have a branch manager who will micromanage everything as they receive the biggest bonuses. They sell a family setting but that's furthest from the truth. When the founder of the company passed away, it is no longer ran in his image. His wife sets back and collects a check while CEO types delegate force but they do a good job of making the propaganda look good. 
They do keep nice equipment and will repair anything if it breaks immediately. 
You're not told when your hired but overtime usually is mandatory and pressure will be applied if you don't comply with most branches running on Saturdays as well. They also usually lay many people off from branches in areas with winter weather as that's a slow time for their business. Managers will initially ask for volunteers but will choose if they don't get any. ABC is the leader in their industry and that's also given them a big head and they enjoy showing it. However, being the leader, you can go on any forum, they are the lowest paying company of their type. That's across the board from managers on down to warehouse associates. They have decent insurance, 401k match up to 3-5%, profit sharing. It's weird the way they figure out the profit sharing. You can expect 1,000 if they profit 1,000,000. Nothing really to get excited about. They have a lot of branches that lose money every year or break even and those people never see anything even though the company as a whole made hundreds of millions. It's by individual branch only. ABC also sponsors a car(s) on the Indy car circuit and you're told upon hire you can get tickets to any race but that's a lie because the branch manager for your home branch has to pay for the ticket(s) 
Remember the micromanaging issue. I've seen guys told no many times after being told that upon hire. You're usually going to the race closest to the branch once a year and that's it. ABC also does not do cost of living raises every year. Any raise is dependent upon the manager approving it. They also don't honor seniority in branches for anything. Managers are free to do as they please with little input from the corporate structure. You're also not allowed to talk about your pay. I've seen people hired in at substantially higher amounts with no experience than people who've been there for several years and are pros. They do like to promote from within but it's rare for top positions. If you're good at what you do, you will stay where you are, especially drivers. The key to any success with ABC is finding a good manager to work for that is strong enough not to cave under pressure, or drink to much of the corporate Kool-aid.

This is the worst job I ever had. They treat you like trash but say they are the best place to work for in america, but the survey they make you take for it, they make you answer good or they will fire you if you say you are unhappy. Then they will make you boom over power lines to get roofing on the rooftop even tho osha says you can't get within 15 feet, and if you say that they will say to you "do it or we will get someone who will do it" Or if the roof is rotten they will say "just be safe" They have no consern for your safety at all, they just want the stuff put on the roof no matter how you have to do it, and if you call them and say it is unsafe to do that because there is power lines they say that you are just trying to get out of having to do your job and that you are lying, and that you better get the stuff up on the roof or you can come back and go home for good. My dispatch told me that I should lie to home owners and say that my truck is not that heavy and would not break the driveway even tho the truck weighed 40,400 pounds with no load on it. you would pull on and it would break the driveway and the home owner would get mad at you. If you got to a new construction job site and it was raining and lightning they would say you need to just get it done because you have more jobs to do later, so you would have to get on a 2 story house in the rain with mud all over your shoes and run a drywall boom in the rain with lightning and carry 80 pound bundles of shingles around on a roof with muddy shoes. like I said they have no consern for your safety. If you want to eat lunch they say you can't stop because you have to much to do today so you will have to eat and drive at the same time. In Jan 2012 you can no longer use a cell phone while driving a commercial truck and the dispatch would keep calling you and if you did not answer because you were driving in the city and you could not pull over he would get mad at you and yell at you for not answering your phone and say don't you ever do that again. Having said that I think the company is ok but the branch I worked at was really bad and needs better management, it is a hard job anyway but when your managers don't care about you it just your job really stressfull and way harder that it has to be.

Drivers Beware. 

Misleading job expectations: Hired as a boom driver, but expected to perform multiple roles. The common phrase used is “everyone does everything,” which means you are also functioning as a warehouse worker. They won't disclose that.

Warehouse responsibilities: Drivers are expected to pick and prepare their own orders, including pulling and wrapping materials before deliveries.

Physical labor beyond job scope: Boom drivers are required to manually deliver heavy items such as doors, windows, and cabinets into homes, rather than using equipment as advertised. You will carry items into homes. 

Equipment expectations: Required to operate multiple types of trucks (boom, box truck, semi, moffett), often switching throughout the day. NO SET SCHEDULE.

Disorganized workflow: No structured daily plan—only the first stop is known. Orders are frequently not ready, resulting in repeated trips back to the warehouse and significant downtime loading your own truck.

Poor communication: Lack of coordination between management and staff; expectations and instructions are often unclear.

Inadequate training:
Very limited hands-on boom training
Sent for NCCCO certification after only two weeks on the job.
Unrealistic expectations to pass with minimal experience

Onboarding issues: Disorganized process with little support for new hires

Timekeeping errors: Hours were inaccurately recorded and required correction

Management concerns: Unprofessional communication from branch management

Reimbursement issues: Initial resistance to paying mileage and tolls despite prior agreement

Boom Drivers Beware this review is specific to the Tinton Falls, NJ branch. 
Other locations may operate differently. However, frequent hiring for boom driver roles—especially during peak season—raises concerns about high turnover.

 This is probably one of the best companies I ever worked for and if my back would let me I would be working for them still management is pretty much on point and having sick days or personal days is no problem the work is very physically demanding but the co-workers are pretty laid back and easy to get along with The company does pay out bonuses when I work there you got $500 for a safety bonus another $500 for customer satisfaction bonus and then every year the company would give out a profit share bonus the lowest amount I got on this was $3500 but again you're gonna work for it Your roof loading shingles on a conveyor belt from a truck you can't be afraid of heights and you have to pay attention to what you are doing because it is dangerous work this batch is pretty good about getting you where you need to be and keeping things in order the yard guys are really good about helping you out with what you need to load on your truck and everybody works as a team at the end of the day to low trucks strap them down and get him ready for the next morning so everybody can get home They do a founder's day celebration at least they did when I worked there  And it was a big steak feed not your normal burgers and hot dogs we are talking thick cut fat boy steaks and every Friday when I work there they would provide a cooler of beer and we would all have a few before  We went home they do a Christmas celebration or a Christmas party usually this results in the renting out of a complete bored like Emerson biggins And honestly the company has no limit on what they would do for their employees absolutely the best company I've ever worked for and like I said before if I was physically capable of doing it I'd go back and do it again

As with most places, the team around you makes or breaks you. I may have an easy day, where I’m able to focus on inventory and my core group of customers, or it’s hectic, material somehow disappears, and everyone has a poor attitude. It can be difficult to keep your head up if you care more than others do. I’m in a unique position where I would probably be considered an inventory/purchasing admin, but because of the size of our branch, I’m still titled as inside sales. 
I start my week by running 12 month sales reports of material that we move the most. As the week progresses, I work my way down my list. The goal is to identify the 12 month average, research which months held a majority volume, check in with customers to review upcoming orders, and try to predict what we’re going to need. Aside from that, I check in with customers on how things are, gauge their work volume, and try to utilize whatever approach it takes to earn whatever upcoming business they have in the pipeline. A large portion of the day revolves around walk-in business, whether it’s meeting new customers, servicing existing customers, or just having whatever it is someone can’t find anywhere else. Some days I’m struggling to source material due to vendor shipping delays or heavy sales volume depleting stock.
I’d like to say you’re rewarded for hard work and expressing interest in moving up in the company, but so far, it feels like I’ve worked myself into being punished for it. I’ve passed up other jobs to continue pursuing my goals and dreams with ABC, but it has yet to be recognized.

I worked at ABC a total of two weeks before I had enough. This was one of the most physically and mentally draining jobs I've ever had. I was hired on as a floater (both roof loading and warehouse), but spent all but one day roof loading. You're responsible for loading the peaks of the roof with bundles of shingles, which can weigh up to 70 pounds. You'll be on the roof in all conditions, no matter how hot it is, or how soaked the roof is when it rains. The problem is, you do it by yourself. The drivers ( in my personal opinion) don't get paid enough, so they usually wouldn't get on the roof to help you unload. They won't hire multiple roof loaders because it drives up the cost of payroll, so you're on your own. Most trucks will do 3-4 loads each, with an average load being 4 pallets of shingles. If you manage to finish all of the loads before 4 PM, they'll send you back out for another run. This job was just overly excessive for something that seemed so simple. Management wasn't totally useless, but rather very unhelpful. The turn over rate was crazy, and in my short time there, 4 guys quit and they had been there less than 6 months (we had maybe 20 people total on staff). The job asks far too much for what they pay. The benefits package is decent compared to most jobs, but that and the overtime doesn't make that job worth it. Physically, it will beat you down to the point where you just go home and sleep everyday after work. My co-workers were alright, none of them ever really started drama. I personally wouldn't recommend this position to anyone, unless you absolutely needed a job, then getting hired on isn't that hard. If you have other options, stick with them because this is not the place you want to be.

In 1992, The Connor Group consisted of one investor and $400,000 of seed funding to buy three apartment communities in Dayton, Ohio. Today, we have more than 900 investors, $4 billion in assets, and operate in 18 markets across the country.

We started with three Partners. Today we have more than 60. It’s a group that includes service techs, administrative personnel, property managers, sales associates, trainers, and top executives. In 2015 we promoted our first grounds person to Partner. There is no glass ceiling here. And, because there isn’t, our associates have a “sky’s-the-limit” attitude.

What’s at the core of our success? People. More specifically, people who share a common vision, commit to our Core Values, are passionate about what they do and are dedicated and driven to be the best. Culture also plays a key part in our success. Rooted in our five core values, it also includes discipline, training, innovation and hard work.

We actively recruit people from all types of industries and businesses and provide them with the tools they need to be successful.  We don’t hire from within the apartment industry. Our associates don’t know the “industry standards.” And without those preconceptions, they have no knowledge of what someone else has deemed impossible. It may make us outsiders, but that’s okay. We aren’t overly concerned about conventional wisdom or what others are doing, so our associates proceed with the mindset that anything is possible. Admittedly, it’s not for everyone, but it works for us.

ABOUT US


My experience with the Labor Director and District Manager at ABC Supply has been extremely disappointing. It’s clear that both roles have become completely disconnected from the day‑to‑day realities that the branch teams face. The people doing the actual work—drivers, warehouse staff, boom operators, counter reps—are the backbone of the company, yet their concerns seem to go unheard and unaddressed.

Instead of taking the time to understand the challenges at the branch level, leadership seems more focused on metrics and appearances than on supporting the employees who keep operations running. Decisions are made from a distance, without any real understanding of how they impact the workers who deal with customers, weather, equipment, and safety risks every single day.

Morale suffers when leadership doesn’t listen, doesn’t show up, and doesn’t demonstrate respect for the people doing the hard work. ABC Supply has many dedicated employees who take pride in what they do, but that pride is undermined when upper management is out of touch and unresponsive.

If ABC Supply wants to maintain its reputation, it needs leaders who actually engage with their teams, understand their challenges, and value their contributions—not just in words, but in action.

I have been working at [Company Name] for over three years, and my experience has been incredibly positive. The company culture is supportive and inclusive, making it a great environment to develop professionally. Leadership is approachable and genuinely cares about employee development, providing ample opportunities for training and career advancement.

One of the standout aspects of [Company Name] is its commitment to work-life balance. Flexible working hours and the option to work remotely have allowed me to manage my personal and professional life effectively. The benefits package is comprehensive, including health insurance, retirement plans, and generous paid time off.

The work itself is challenging and engaging, which keeps me motivated and excited about my projects. Team collaboration is highly encouraged, and I've had the chance to work with some incredibly talented individuals. The company also places a strong emphasis on innovation, always seeking new ways to improve processes and deliver better services to clients.

The only downside I've experienced is that the workload can sometimes be overwhelming, especially during peak seasons. However, the management is usually understanding and offers support to help manage the workload.

Overall, [Company Name] is a fantastic place to work if you're looking for a dynamic and supportive environment where you can grow your career.



While ABC Supply as a company generally offers solid career opportunities, enjoyable work, and a strong reputation across many of its locations, the experience at the Naples, FL branch is a completely different story and not in a good way. The Naples location is plagued by poor management, toxic workplace culture, and a complete lack of leadership. Employees are treated as disposable, favoritism is rampant, and hard work goes completely unrecognized. Communication is consistently disorganized or outright non-existent, leading to daily frustration, unnecessary conflict, and constant confusion. There is little to no opportunity for professional growth at this location. The management shows no real interest in employee development, morale is at an all-time low, and turnover is alarmingly high which should serve as a serious red flag to anyone considering employment there. The work environment fosters resentment and burnout rather than teamwork and success.
If you value being treated with respect, working in a professional environment, and having a fair chance to grow your career, you should absolutely avoid the Naples, FL branch. While ABC Supply overall can still be a great company to work for, your experience at this particular location will almost certainly be a major disappointment. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere within the company or beyond.
