Continental Battery Systems

It's a bittersweet place to.work. I've hit my pay cap at 2 years with the company after giving everything for them. I worked after a national disaster, I filled in for a manager without compensation, and these things keep occuring. I'm considered an operations lead, but you don't lead anything honestly. Constantly doing things outside of my job title to get no where is disappointing. The only way to move up in the company is to relocate and take a different job title, but you have to get approval from your manager. It can be a great place to work, but it's all dependent on your location and manager to allow you to move up and grow. I feel stuck and that is why I'm making this review. Outside of that, stacking batteries and everything that comes with this.job is easy. It's very hard to mess up and when you do they are very forgiving. If I were offered an opportunity to become a branch manager I would take it. Once you get in the swing of things it becomes routine, and most days feel like it's being repeated from the week before. The company isn't all that bad, but I would avoid being a "yes man" at all costs...

A Great Company that gave me and many others the opportunity to be successful and have a great career. Work hard and be productive and the company will reward you. A typical day at Work...Monday morning , have a sales meeting, after meeting meet with delivery driver and coordinate the work day etc. Travel business to business and take care of great customers and offer them a great product with great warranty coverage and pricing. I learned that as long as you work hard it will pay off. Management was great and strictly wanted you to give it your best Day in and day out, with a understanding of failures and mistakes but for you to learn from them and handle your business. The hardest part of my job was saying goodbye do to an irresponsible choice that i made. The most enjoyable part of my job was the long term relationships i built over the course of 11 years-Co-workers,customers and the character and mindset this company molded for me.

● Work-life balance
This company will try to squeeze you for everything you got . The worst part is management is incompetent  this company is known for illegally changing your time card then asking you to approve it , they claim to be for you and your safety but have the worst safety procedures I would not recommend this company to anyone

● Pay & benefits
Benefits are horrible doesn’t cover hardly anything with copays are through the roof

● Job security and advancement
They will push you out the door by ignoring your every attempt to grow

● Management
Manager basically needs his job done for him

● Culture
They try to send you cute emails saying things like make sure to drink water and have a good day but it all sees computer generated

● Overall
Don’t subjugate yourself to this this company will use and abuse you , working with hazardous materials has never been more unsafe than this. If you like touching hazardous materials for pennies this is the company for you

A typical day at work consisted of many responsibilities, multi-tasking.. From answering phones, to taking orders, to preparing bank deposits, contacting customers on past due accounts, and resolving discrepancies, this job kept me on my toes. I have learned that I love to keep busy, it makes the day fly by so much faster. Management consisted mainly of men which did not leave much room for women when it comes to management positions. I loved my coworkers, they were all great, down-to-earth, hard working people. The hardest part of the job was when I had an unhappy customer that wanted to speak to a manager, because often times management could not assist me with the situation, because either they were too busy or were not at the location. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting the customers and working with my coworkers, developing friendships and trust.

Great starter company to work for, only has very poor and unsatisfactory in management. Well only at the location I worked at. Hardest part of the job is just moving the product, batteries can tend to be very heavy depending on size and type of client you are dealing with. Overall its not that stressful, although they need to improve on technologies instead of the old fashioned carbon papers in my opinion, it doesn't look organized or classy. 

In essence, the company makes many changes all the time and can be sometimes difficult as you grow with the company, they seem like they are still figuring what works and what doesn't. Good company to start at if you are going to school, they don't force overtime and its a great place to get your feet wet and learn some discipline. They offer benefits for full-time employees only, but I don't reccomend getting comfortable here because the sky is the limit.

Battery Systems is a wonderful company.  Business growth is extremely important, but employee safety/well-being is just as important.  I truly love this company and, if for not the position, personally, I wouldn't be looking elsewhere.  From a management standpoint, I've been lucky enough to wear multiple hats and not sit behind the desk.  I'm able to interact with our customers, pull orders, answer phones, etc.  This is not a job for those who want to do one thing.  Our upper management does a great job of supporting us, at all times.  The hardest part of the job, for me specifically, was not having an idea of what was needed to move to the next step.  The most enjoyable part of the day was working with the guys next to me, as well as those at different branches.  This is a phenomenal company to work with and I'm truly privileged to have been given the opportunity that I did, when I was hired.

I would give this job no stars if I could I worked at the Greenville location as a driver which is actually called Battery Specialist. The supervisors are the most codensending people you will ever meet. Favortism and suck ups out-weigh hard work at this establishment. Communication is non existent and the main boss will literally walk right by you without even saying hello. I busted my tail for this company and was treated worse and worse the longer I was employed here. Steer clear from this job. Literally no advancement at this location and raises are scarce due to over-payed employees that do not pull their on weight.

This is a recession proof business that will always have work and opportunities for team members that want to grow and create a great and fun career.
Management is directed and skilled in providing direction and encouragement, opportunities are abundant for the right candidate to work anywhere within our company throughout the United States.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility when it comes to personal needs outside of work. Laid back environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No support of getting employees in to work since wages are way too low for California standard. To many wants when tools provided always have a hiccup internally and seems like certain employees make too many amateur mistakes that make it difficult for people on the field to have a smooth process to work with.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Seems like a circle bubble up in the chain and corporate office people just patting each others back for small stuff when guys on the field are making things happen.

I was at the Tyler Texas location, I worked there two separate times about 3 years in total. Everyone at the warehouse was easy to work with, my boss and the warehouse manager were very professional. I worked warehouse/delivered the work load can be a lot but that’s the job you sign up for so anyone complaining is either lazy or isn’t physically capable of the job. It’s an incredible job to have and the benefits are hard to match. No complaints on my end. They have a great team in Tyler. I would definitely recommend to somebody else.
