Management is quite busy with whatever it is they're doing while expecting too much out of their employees. Don't count on a 9-5 job -- they'll expect you to stay later to pick up others slack after your shift is over. Upper management has only the bottom line in mind and regardless of numerous team meetings (after which you'll briefly feel better/heard), will do very little to take care of things. 2-3 of these will be all you need to realize it's just to slightly boost morale. Employees are great to work with but with such disorganization you're left feeling overworked. Procedures can change on a whim and due to lack of communication you won't know about it until you've done it wrong. Leaving for appointments/family emergencies is OK but you'll need to make up that missing time.

This wasn't a horrible place to work for, it just left me wanting more. I left knowing that as an off-the-street hire, I'd always be a warehouse monkey. Employees that have been there a decade or more love their job but newer employees are not treated as kindly. True training is non-existent and you will be consistently asking others how to do something.

This is a job to work for the experience and the pay.

I've worked for 5 companies in my career and have enjoyed working at First Supply the most. First Supply invested in improving my management and leadership skills plus I was able to work with multiple mentors which helped me learn the business from the ground up. I've enjoyed being a manager at First Supply because we are empowered to focus on Talent / Team Development first. "Happy employees lead to happy customers." We've had multiple success stories in the company where employees that wanted to advance were trained, mentored, and awarded with advancement. As a manager this was one of the best / most rewarding part of my job.

Earlier this year when the pandemic broke First Supply was classified as an essential business. Our ownership and leadership met daily to make sure employees and customers were safe. We have weekly meetings to review safety practices and communicate important changes. As an employee, husband, and father I felt safe and secure at work.

If you're looking for a rewarding career, like being part of a team, and enjoy making customers happy, apply for a job at First Supply. We'd love to have you on our team.

First Supply only cares about money.  The company motto should be "do more with less" and "profits over people".  Did absolutely nothing in response to covid-19 except send emails about washing hands and wear a mask.  Did nothing that could potentially affect the bottom line.  Forced employees in unsafe situations with covid while corporate was allowed to work from home.   There is zero flexibility at the company unless you are in corporate or the managers favorite.  Upper management continually throws its employees under the bus to make a few extra dollars on their bonus.  No advancement opportunities unless you brown nose management and continually promote people based on what that person would make instead of the quality of work performed.  At the end of the day its a do as I say not as I do management style.  

I was hired as an 'Intern' but there was no internship program or plan. 
I had no access to corporate training materials and daily, my Manager promised training that he inevitably ended up not having time for.  I was on my own to figure it out. Each co-worker had different methods so that added to the confusion. Also, parking in Birmingham is pricy--$8.50 a day or more and I was the only coworker without a parking pass.  This meant a 1 1/4 mile walk each way into work as on my 'Intern's' salary, I couldn't afford parking. Three weeks in, the Branch Manager seemed to spontaneously notice that my nose is pierced (I'm an older person and it was pierced over 55 years ago!) and he actually accused me of not wearing it during the interview. I felt insulted as it's my custom to wear it daily and I highly value integrity and didn't appreciate the accusation.

For the most part First Supply was a decent place to work in regard to day to day inner action with co-workers and customers in the field. However; The upper managment of this company lacks a great deal when it comes down to one on one compassion and caring for their employees..... They may say that their number one asset in the corporation is it's employees, However; it has been my experience, as well as the experience of so many others, that nothing could be further from the truth. This may sound petty to some, but I believe that when you say something about your employees(Publicity), and your actions reflect something else, then the truth should be disclosed. Is it no wonder why so many continue to jump ship....

Underpaid for the amount of work expected. No opportunities for advancement. Pay is based on years you’ve worked there not based on performance. Extremely poor daily operation processes and procedures. Management will use their title to overcompensate for lack of knowing how to do their job. Overall the company is very old school and has a long way to go— example there is no way for clients to view order online, place orders online, pay for anything online, receive a receipt after paying for something (current sop is to tape a receipt onto a piece of paper, email it to yourself, and then email it to client). You can find better employment opportunities elsewhere, trust me.

There is exciting growth and advancement opportunities within the company. Wonderful company to work for. The growth of the company is one of the most exciting things to be a part of. Year after year they continue to grow. In the 5 years I have been with the company I have been promoted 3 times. Hard work and dedication does pay off with this company! With the growth there have been growing pains. The company is still working on SOP's and training/developing of staff. This is something that they are currently focused on and working towards.

Worked here for almost two years. Salespeople blame drivers for their errors. No support from management especially the corporate office. Pay and benefits are atrocious, company does not support their employees.  Response to COVID 19 is scary. No PPE, No transparency of positive cases within the location. No raise due to Covid, yet company released a statement that this past year was record-breaking sales. Three people have left in the past 9 months and they failed to replace them, just made the current employees pick up the slack with no additional pay or incentives.

Fun and enjoy working company
Learned something new everyday with customers always a puzzle 
Management I think could of been of a different choice , because I feel that Management was not  experience enough for his job
My  co workers were great 
My hardest part of my job was trying to make all the new transfers of plumbing fixtures from one company to another we had like 27 companys 
My most enjoyable part of my  job was always working with new products and customers and learning all new products ,
