G.W. Berkheimer Co., Inc.

I enjoyed working with the whole team at GWB.  As a TM I connected with branches, warehouse, and corporate.  Customers have a good respect for the GWB tradition but also expect GWB to be overpriced on some materials (mostly due to the tendency to supply top quality USA made materials).  GWB has a solid line-up of equipment and offers quality training programs. 

As a TM, one often feels like a hamster on the wheel in terms of progress from year to year even with good growth the previous year.  Compensation changed too frequently.  The carrot kept moving farther out.  

I had a real sense that the owners had a personal interest in the employees.

Reviewed out of stock list for all 21 branches. Purchased HVAC products from 17 vendors for wholesale distribution for resale to contractors. Managed approx. 3.5 million dollars in inventory. Worked  
with ISR'S to place special orders. Ideally Purchasing Agents should maintain 97% service level and 4 turns on a annual basis. I maintained 98.8% service level and 3.72 turns for the 7 1/2 years.
Sitting in front of a computer for more than 5-6 hours a day. The most enjoyable part of this position was negotiating with vendors for preseason purchases.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Saturdays off at noon and closed on Sunday- helps with work/life balance. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Each department or location cares primarily only about itself. Doesn't realize how actions or inaction affects others.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A combination of family oriented with a mix of high school cliques. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No 2 days are the same. Workload dependant on the branches recent activity.

I personally enjoyed many fellow coworkers. I feel I was under paid however, the benefits were pretty good. Slow on raises and Not very competitive with other companies. This company is on the lower end of competitive. Work Hrs. were good and work load avg. 
 I was with company about 7 yrs. Overall pretty good.

Work environment is pleasant. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not a stressful place to work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Small family owned business.  Open worshiper environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The typical workday is busy manning phone calls,  answering emails,  and reports

In the time that I worked there, the CHILDREN (MBA and a Lawyer) of the owner took over. Interested ONLY in the bottom line, they laid off or drove off the very talented, in favor of $8 and $9 an hour clerks who knew absolutely nothing about the HVAC business. Revenues plummeted, contractors stopped shopping there. Taking the copany in the opposite direction of the MEN who built it.

BRILLIANT!

A lot of questions asked in this survey have nothing to do with anything I dealt with at this company and there isn't an option to state this when you only provide yes/no and Agree/Disagree answers.  Preforming your job and/or getting promoted at this company is difficult when trying to work around the family and friends that choose to take advantage of their position.

All of the management is incompetent and lazy. The place is a mess. The good ole boys sit around and do nothing while everyone else works. It’s a free for all and the rules do not apply to all equally.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Super able to accommodate your needs . Great benefits, good pay nice people working there.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress at all.easy to work for. They care about employees, family owned.

friendly, safe, constant workspace. Fair pay, amazing benefits, Paid time off (PTO), respectful day to day interactions with customers and other employees.
