More work, less help. In the office it is a noisy and disruptive environment (including management). No consideration for the few people who actually go there to work. Expect very little help from your supervisor and manager.
The more work that you do, the more work that will be assigned to you. If you're a lazy employee who spends most of their time texting, chatting and "hanging out" this is the department for you... Accounts Payable
I learned that my health is more important than working in this department.
Management spends their days in meetings being sociable with each other. They assign work that they should be doing to everyone that directly or indirectly reports to them. Their so called "open door policy" is only open to their peers and above management. 
The culture is for people who show up late for work, that continually have and share their opinion out loud concerning any topic except their actual work.
The hardest part of the job is for the employees that actually work to keep up with their work. 3 employees have resigned in the last 3 months and I know at least one more who is about to resign. Forget about going to Human Resources. They also don't care and will not act on this department's downfall. The AP management will do everything in their power to "push" you out the door if you don't adapt to their culture.
Use up your PTO before you resign. They will not pay you for it.

Too much favortism between the higherups and certain employees. Certain employees in customer service or in the recieving department were standing around and eating, talking to each other. Never offering to help other departments when they aren't busy. When other departments are busy you pretty much have to bust your tail. When recieving department or customer service some of the certain latin employees will run and tell the higherup in the warehouse that they always need help and 100% of time they get it. But when they have down time they don't offer help to any other departments. During summer time if your in the shipping department majority of time you will be by yourself for months. Because recieving and customer service gets all the help. Overworked and underpaid tremendously. Inventory time is crazy the corporate employees come to help in the process. They are completely useless from corporate, all they do is sit at a desk and collect good money and not know the business. Inventory was alot of useless recounts and time wasted. All they came for was the free food and a paycheck. Inventory should not include the corporate employees

Not a place you would want to stay long-term. Management is basically like any other corporation. Coworkers and direct manager can make or break your overall experience. No room for growth/advancement whatsoever and although established, feels like it is shrinking. 

Found management to be unyielding and unwilling to accept problems and issues brought to attention and in some cases get close to retaliation. Raises were minimal and constantly put off because of financial issues. Be prepared for gaslighting from management and other teams. Not uncommon to receive complaints with everyone and their mother CCd on an email only for there to not actually be any problem. When working with certain teams you won't be able to do anything right and they will still find something to complain about rather than trying to work together to solve issues. 

HR is a joke. 

If you are looking for a place to get experience for a few years then leave I would recommend this place, but if you are looking for meaningful work and advancement this is not the place for you.

Mangers don’t give a flaying f**k about anything. had a fellow warehouse employee throw a customers items on the floor and kick his items while swearing right in front of the customer who just paid for those items. I then proceeded to inform the manager about this incident absolutely nothing was done. Myself and many other employees went to the manger about this warehouse employee several times no change. Counter guys can’t get anything right constantly messing up customer orders then proceed to blame it on the warehouse guys who don’t even have access to the system.😂  They have a third party driver who is one of the laziest people you will ever meet doesn’t bother to lift a finger unless it benefits him constantly complains about anything and everything. So overall my advice to anyone that’s thinking about applying here is to keep looking save yourself the time this place is a JOKE.  

Work-life balance
The company is pretty lenient, for taking time off for family functions. You are told in advance for mandatory times, like inventory.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Gemaire Distributors are conductive to my skill level. Raises, are few, and far between.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Gemaire Distributors, I think. Its a pretty secure job. It takes alot to get fired.

Management
In general, managers at Gemaire Distributors are easy to get along with. Its the corporate office in Deerfield Beach that doesn't have a clue.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Gemaire Distributors is something of a different nature. Communication with the drivers is not paramount at Gemaire. It sometimes makes you look foolish.

Overall
My experience working at Gemaire Distributors. Its a decent job. I basically hang around to see what's going to happen next.

If you like an extremely stressful environment and always working understaffed and phones never stop ringing,  this place is for you. 

The contractors/customers are fantastic which is the most enjoyable part of the job but Gemaire does not make it easy to do business or serve them properly.

The hardest part of the job is trying to accomplish and multi-task without the proper tools or additional counter help. My branch should have had 6 people to safely and effectively perform the job and they only employed 3. I was left alone often to answer phones, research parts and go into a separate warehouse to use a forklift to load the purchased equipment all while leaving the front counter uncovered thereby when you returned, phone customers would be upset because no one was there to answer and the cycle constantly is repeated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good associates who want to work hard and want to do the right thing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with upper management whose decisions changed like the wind. Inconsistent standards and inconsistent decision making often created chaotic situations when it was unecessary.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture that was preached was one of team unity, but in reality, the culture was fractured. The fractures in unity resulted in mistrust among associates.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do more with less. Inconsistent messages due to lack of clear communication.

This job has the potential to be a fun and fast paced environment but sadly its not. 
The serious lack of communication between the front counter and the warehouse is AWFUL. So that creates a lot of stress and problems between everyone. Also not enough staff 1-2 people are always on the road and that leaves 1 guy in the warehouse and 2 people on the counter. Very high stress. 
Needs to work on how they go about deliveries and communication between front and back dept.
Also, needs updated inventory systems and sales systems.

Not a bad gig if you like high stress and no communication.
I would recommend this company if all that was fixed. Then it would be more enjoyable.

Gemaire is always moving and always changing. During the four years I was employed there I worked for three different managers. people are always coming and going and there seems to be a problem with stability. I enjoyed working there over all because of my customers. They made all the difference to me. I worked hard and went the extra mile for them and they respected me for it and we all created and maintained a positive and enjoyable work environment for all.
