E.B. Bradley

I ran an Operation that employed 35 associates that include Inside Sales, Warehouse, and Drivers. The branch I managed is the central hub that takes care of 75 % of all incoming calls that will service all California customers for the woodworking industry. I ran reports in the morning to check for associates times and overtime, sales margins, minimum deliveries charges, inventory discrepancies, order entries, open order to be ready to ship, and pending returns. Gave special instructions to the warehouse associates about projects if needed and made sure that the work follow was in a good pace. Worked directly with the lead driver to insured that all deliveries were made before 2:00 pm daily. I worked closely with the President, Director of Operations, and Sales Manager to offer the best service in our industry. This included answering the phones within 90 sec. training all associates with new and old product, cross training, and delivery service. We design a plan with 3 branches ( Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Hayward) to service ALL California customers for next service day with our own fleet removing cost from freight carriers and damages in transit. With the benefit of offering better service.
	The most challenging part of my job was working with a short staff at times. In my Operation I had associates that were able to travel to different branches to assist in moves from building to building or short staffing in local branches (e.g. Anaheim, North Hollywood, Santa Fe Springs, and Hayward).
	I was with E.B. Bradley for 14 years I started as a warehouse associate pulling orders to working every position that was part of the Operation. I learn to value all phases of the job duties that made E.B Bradley a good company to work for. I enjoyed teaching and empowering co-workers in their job duties to execute them to the best of their abilities and with the possibility promoting within.

Selling specailty hardware and board products may seem boring to some, but not when you have  a CEO and managment team that is consistantly bringing in new products for you to sell! EBB is one of the most forward thinking companies in this industry . They work with high end well known vendors that are innovative and coming up with new products every year. EBB is quick to adapt and bring in product, and then eduate their sales team on product specifics so you can go out and sell

You will always have something to do here, there is always something new happening or a new customer base to sell to . It is very transactional, customers rely on the folks at EB Bradley and their experience, you are wanted and sought after . The more that customers call and want to work with you, the more commision you will be able to earn which is a nice bonus. 

The managment team is very supportive, responsive, family oriented , and approachs sales in a modern way with tools that can help you immediately help you make sales to your customer 

There is no shortage of learning, or attention to detail here at EB Bradley, I believe it is a great place to grow as an individual both personally and professionally 

I was with this company for a very short time. I am a class B CDL driver and this was the worst company I have ever worked for. Portland Manager is a joke with very poor management skills and even poorer communication skills. 
Severe lack of training on product knowledge makes the job very difficult if you have no previous experience with cabinetry or warehouse experience. 
Didn't get paid on time a couple times. 

That being said; The job itself is awesome. You pick up early in the morning and spend your day dropping off your truck load. Fairly easy job physically wise. Hard part of job is learning the products and getting out on the road in time to have the hours to be able to drop off all the product. 
Hours are great, average about 11 hour days makes for a nice paycheck.. As long as you don't have a family to get home to at certain times. 

Would be a great career if it was a different company and different  Management.

I will try to keep this short and sweet but the way management managed this place is total garbage. The warehouse supervisor would just screw about all day doing as minimal work as possible. Then he  would put his work on everyone else and blame you when he cant leave as soon as work is about to shut down because things have not gone his way. That and the lead driver did carry his weight unlike the supervisor but he was the most condescending jerk you're ever gonna deal with. Instead of helping you learn when you are new guy so you can get things figured out he just talks down to you every day that you're there.  The worst thing about all of this is that management knows and just turns a blind eye while everyone is miserable. I would not recommend this company to anyone. 

Stressed and always something going wrong with routes, I've learned a lot from this company gave me experience on the class A trucks how to strap loads . and also to work under lots of pressure. management was very very poor no control over company employees , inventory always blaming employees for there mistakes. I will put an example  co-worker are in control of the company they say who does what and how is done ,no management when our shift would start.they gave me hell.one guy there was the only one who help me thank God for him. The hardest part of work everything they made sure of that.when  I left on my truck and even like that, the guy who loaded me up would always made sure I struggled. mixing my route around.

Good company. Management has good intentions but doesn't develop plan or fails to implement plan when change needed. Many in charge have tons of hands on practical knowledge that was acquired from years of loyal service. Management could benefit from formal training. There is no review process in place for inside sales and office personnel and much of the feedback given is negative. The only way a raise is given is if requested, regardless of years of service. Also, there is perceived pay gap between women and their male counterparts.

I really appreciate the culture here.  Not just the culture of how we accomplish work related topics and grow our business and take care of our customers, but also the culture of respect and support for us as people and for our families.  It's easy to work hard for an organization that values you and supports you far beyond your work accomplishments.  I also strongly appreciate how adhere to our core values of being deliberately helpful, being focused on the customer, to always be learning, establishing relationships based on trust, to work as a team and to always be respectful and to be accountable to our customers and our team.
