Cooper Electric

As I worked in the branch in Bergenfield but was administrator for four branches located in different areas of New Jersey I interacted with five managers and had no issues with any of them. They were all very helpful and courteous.  

A typical day was stressful due to the reports and tasks that were required daily as well as the unknowns that occurred during a day. The end of the month reports were the hardest part of the job because they were in addition to the daily requirements  and unknowns. My favorite part of the job was the camaraderie among the employees and the contractors.

When I started at Cooper Electric I had no knowledge of the Eclipse program that was being used. I was able to learn the system and become proficient in using it.

you have to have no kids nor love life to work in management. they require you to work an insane amount of hours with mediocre pay. i did it for about a year and couldn't do it anymore. start time for me was 12pm - 4-6 am the net day! i have a wife & kids, didn't see them till sunday ( pretty much kinda slept Saturday away..). Wanted to have a day with them but they had their own plans. Wife & I always in to it due to me not being home. There is a difference between just supporting them & supporting & raising them. My final straw was wehn they said they were gonna change  my schedule by having me come in at 10 am instead of 12pm. Again, the hours are INSANE!!!!!

Doing inside sales I would  receiving purchase orders from the men in the field, and then place these orders with the various vendors and supply houses.  
When placing these order I always have to look for the best price where the materials can be delivered to my men in a timely fashion
.
As a Purchasing Agents the hardest part of the job is to secure the orders from supply houses so that my men have the materials they need to complete the work at the job site.   The most enjoyable part of being a purchasing agent is to see the money you have saved the company and the satisfaction of doing a job well done.

Me personally I didnt have the greatest experience with that job, but I doubt that will be the same for everyone else. I was recommending by a friend who just started working there maybe 1 and and a half before me. The managers were lazy I guess and made my friend train me even though he barely knew what he was doing himself. Then management would be upset when mistakes are made but we are barely trained. Management also picked favorites ALOT.

If the people at the job were different I would have a whole different rating, maybe it was just my shift.

I have. Not been happy here at cooper for a long time because I have been here almost 12 years and still have not been getting the pay I should .. the company is only based on how hard you work and I work hard each and everyday .. I am not recognize as a person and I feel because I am the only woman that work at cooper electric in Brooklyn on the floor . If I ask for a raise I am turned down in all my years I only received 2 raises and it’s was only 50 cent and 75 cent and oh one more back in 2009 50 cent I feel I am a good worker and I have put in my time and deserve better ..

long days as a driver, they pressure you to make delivery commitments for customers that are entirely unrealistic, and force you to drive beyond DOT regulations for hours and safe load weights..! the pay is good.! benefits are not so good, although its union (teamsters) there is not retirement pension only a  401k I did enjoy working with the customers and getting to know them but overall as a driver it was long day and the pressure to drive over hours that really sucked

Working at Cooper Electric Supply has given me invaluable insight into the solar industry. Being surrounded by dedicated, energetic and fun people definitely has made the overall experience extremely positive. 

A typical day includes interaction between my coworkers, manager, the logistics team, and contractors. These interactions have taught me how to conduct myself in a professional setting, while still making personable connections.

Long hours and hard work, for little pay compared to industry unappreciative management no room for advancement within the company. All upper positions are hired from outside. If you're into being a low level warehouse worker that's fine but don't plan on any real advancement within this company.

Management and processes have gone down quite a bit in quality. Communication is almost nonexistent for even the simplest of job functions. There appears to be a severe lack of culture and community here, at least from the position that I am in.
On the plus side pay is "okay" ... benefits must be about average. 

An o.k. work environment. I've learned how to use different varieties of forklifts. The management ''needs'' to change, unfair and shows alot of favortism. The co-workers are laid back, helpful and over worked.The hardest part of the job is to get treated fairly by management.
