East Coast Metal Distributors

My experience with East Coast Metal Distributors (ECMDI) was overwhelmingly negative due to the management's blatant lack of fairness and professionalism. While I initially had high hopes for growth and development within the company, it became clear that leadership was more interested in covering up their own inadequacies than supporting their employees.I experienced unfair treatment throughout my time there, culminating in a termination based on false information and misleading claims. Rather than fostering an environment of transparency and respect, management chose to rely on dishonesty and manipulation, which created a toxic workplace culture.It was clear to me that employee well-being is not a priority at ECMDI, and I would caution anyone considering joining this company to be prepared for a lack of support, poor communication, and questionable leadership decisions. I hope the company seriously reevaluates how they treat their employees moving forward, though I wouldn’t be optimistic based on my experience.

Micromanaging is a constant issue here. So if you like being hounded by manager and being told on by ppl who worked for the company for years but can barely their job here all day then this place is for you. 

But I would advise not to work here, there will be no career advancement without being a brown nose. Forklifts never get fixed, plus many other safety hazards to worry about, you basically work inside a bricked in corrugated death shack. On top of being an hazards warehouse, no a/c in summer, no heat in winter. The elements of the climate along with bad management will be your biggest obstacle. 

Job was cool in the beginning but as time goes on, you realize you will not be properly compensated for your efforts. 

I'm able to work from home, take calls as needed with a Company supplied phone. Reimbursed for all mileage travel that is work related. Company credit card for all business use. Expense reports are very easy to use. Unlike working in company call centers, here I'm able to spend as much time as is needed to fully diagnose and complete resolutions. I'm able to take days off when needed vacation. As long as I've phone service, travel and when I take some time away from home I'm able to work completely remote to perform my job.

Ultra corporate company that only cares about the customers cash. Not the customer. Not the employee. Every warehouse person is worthless in their eyes. Regardless of effort or years invested in company. Health insurance sucks. 401k sucks. The only, and I genuinely mean ONLY good thing about this company is that they are closed on the weekend...until the summer. Then they open up on Saturdays for the 2 customers that also work on those days. 

There’s so many bad reviews but I loved the branch I was at, my boss was amazing and so we’re my coworkers. We worked hard but still had fun, as long as you showed up (on time) and actually did your job we were never written up. There is times when you need to rush because it is a fast paced environment depending on the season but that’s part of having a job and you get used it. You can definitely grow, they were always sending e-mails about other internal jobs you can apply for. 

ECMDI is a fair place to work. I had a positive team that supported me, I got to work remotely, my boss was good. Sometimes it was boring, but that's kinda similar to most corporate gigs I feel like.

I did get a sense that it would be very hard to get a improved salary while I was there, I don't think they provide people with raises very often.

No training, just left to the wolves. Unfair management practices. Favorites personal have personal conversations of up to an hour while you're left to heft all the responsibility and then you're berated or threatened with write ups when you walk off to take a break once it finally calmed down. 
If you attempt to assist other departments while it's slower or warehouse personnel is occupied you're threatened.

A typical day is very non stop customer interaction, productivity checks, and getting the product to construction sites.
we're continually learning of new and improved merchandise.
rarely interact with management.
my immediate supervisor is a great help and handles every problem without grim. 
the hardest part is the disorganized warehouse in the morning.
the most enjoyable is our customers.

It’s alright in the beginning until write ups and mangament 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Managers and getting work done 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Busy and no time to breathe rush rush rush in this company 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days slow then other day busy

Loaded trucks early for local delivery runs. When not driving picking will call orders and helping customers load up. Unloading carriers dropping off and doing inventory count manually. The hardest part of the job was pulling sheet metal. The most enjoyable part were the deliveries the customers.
