Priority Wire & Cable Inc

So i have had this job for about 2.5 years, and this entire time i have been holding my breath hoping that the big guys upstairs would realize that Denver has a high cost of living, that to be compared to the West coast. Now this is a nationwide company, who has operations from the south to the east to the west, and each branch needs to be reviewed independently based on the cost of living in that given area. And they do do this, only not in Denver. They start at minimum wage here, when in Seattle for the same position they start at $23 an hour. Why is  Denver not compensated close to the same when our cost of living is right behind Seattle? IDK, Other than that though it is a pretty okay place to work when it is being managed correctly, good overtime, good benefits, profit sharing ect. But after these 2 and some years i still only make approximately $2 over minimum wage an hour. I honestly cant afford to do it anymore.

this place is a revolving door. if you're desperate for a job they will pay you on time every week and the benefits are pretty good. there is no formal training but the work is not rocket science, most people understand the job in a few days and can then work independently. if you enjoy working in a hostile environment where miscommunication and chaos reign supreme then this place is for you. you will spend more time trying to find what you need to complete an order than you will actually doing the order most days. i'm not a stickler for safety but this place is full of idiots and blatant hazards and it's up to you to determine what's a safe or not, which for some people is an issue. there's not much protocol, if any to go by. if this place is not your only option think twice before accepting an offer you'll end up regretting. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Culture and helpful management. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work Flow, can be slow and then busy 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a very collaborative space. managers don’t just bark orders from the  desk they’re out there helping when things get backed up and checking in to see how we’re doing. they never ask us to compromise our safety to do it. There is a genuine look out for each other mentality that starts from the top down.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in an start the day with what I have assigned from the night before. And as more orders come during the day we have more to do.

There are days when you’re working the hardest you can, and there are days when there is nothing to do for anyone in the warehouse. Management isn’t great either, and if you have an issue with another employee than nothing gets done. There are people who are constantly under the influence and everyone knows, but still nothing gets done about it. Weaponized incompetence is the main problem. Other than that it isn’t bad, the other employees are good. For the most part everyone works together. Moving up really isn’t a possibility if you’re not friends or family with higher ups. Overall, it’s a job that’s pretty simple and doesn’t require a lot of experience to do.

Good company to work for. They have amazing benefits offering employer provided healthcare and they contribute to an HSA for their employees and their families/dependents. They have an amazing retirement plan with Profit Sharing offering 15% of their salary into employee's 401k annually. They have referral bonuses where employees receive $2,000 for each employee that works at least 6 months. They also provide $3,000 sign on bonuses for their new hires.

 

Good energy and atmosphere but Low pay and poor management. 
No guidance and management is spread thin. 
Seniority is not considered when it comes to promotions. 
Constant change in sales and commission structure.  
They rush promotions for team supervisors, even with unexperienced employees. In the long run this caused multiple sales reps to suffer due to having a manager that has no experience in guiding another person, let alone a whole team. 
Managers only talk to you if you have money on the board, otherwise you’re invisible. 
Enjoyed the culture activity 

Middle management (not lower management they're awesome) is terrible, they are the problem. They will tell lower management or hourly workers that they are not kind and don't care what people think! That brings down the morale for all employees. They also don't appreciate hard work, all they do is talk bad about employees. I think they're on a power trip. I also think upper management needs to look into them, because they're driving/forcing good employees away. This was a great company at one time.

No complaints whatsoever with the accounting department. Great company and great benefits. Be prepared that if you give your notice, that they don’t actually accept that and your last day will be the day you give your notice. They will escort you out of the building and have someone else pack up your things and mail them to you or allow you to pick them up. You have to wait outside, no matter the weather, while they gather your things so you can load them in your car. 

It was a great place but in the past 2 years management had changes and it has become more between friends and family so cant file a complain because the head of mangamet won't do anything to make he's guys look bad. Lead position became available alot of employees where anxious to apply but wouldn't you know that mangamet hire their bowling buddies instead with in the company for advancementNeed to contact directly to HR in Little Rock so we can get some help and still get left out. Its always i dont want to hear it.
