Scott Electric Company

I'd been here a while and have never had more trouble getting along with other people in my entire life. I got laid off because of covid 19 and then all of a sudden they told me I had no job anymore!  I've been harassed and threatened more than a schoolkid! Good, decent, hard-working people are demonized here. The worst employees get treated best and get away with murder. The more you learn, the more work you have to do, and the more you get disciplined or reprimanded. It is like a minefield. You're set up to fail. Now if you're racist (the company is very discriminatory and very white and conservative) and you are in the good old boy circle, you're fine. But if you're not, watch your back. Most of the people who get hired are white guys who know someone who works there. So there ya go. Everybody that trained me at anything was very impatient. You have to get the hang of everything right away or else. The slightest, inconsequential mistakes are made out to be catastrophes depending on whether or not management likes you. Managers were arrogant, overbearing jerks. Dirty warehouse. Coworkers were all racially prejudiced, salty, immature and untrustworthy. Owner of the company is a misanthropic, mean, old miser. Not much room to advance except for sales which is commission only if you're outside sales and very financially risky. Strict, stupid rules. They make you tuck your shirt in at all times.  Nasty, backward company.

The people and the opportunities. We have a strong team environment, and employees have the chance to grow, learn, and build long-term careers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

Working at this place was like being in the movie groundhogs day. Every day was exactly the same, maybe some people are into that, but I'm not. You don't really have a purpose at this place other than being the guy who delivers wire to rude electricians who don't give a care in the world about you. There's nothing engaging or exciting about this job. You'll have the same route every day, see the same rude customers every day, drive the same old truck every day, and I hope you have unlimited data on your phone because they make you use your own. This place is stuck in the 80s, no technology, it's all paperwork, which doesn't sound terrible at first but when it starts blowing around and falling all the time it gets a little annoying. For some reason no understands you are told to tuck in your shirt. Also you lose your name here. Yep you heard me right, they give you a 3 digit number and that's your new identity. Prepare to become a robot if you take this job!

pay and hours and benefits are decent but the way you're treated makes it not worth it. not much room to grow. the harder you work the more they dump on you and the less patient they are with you. managers are lazy and unreasonable and mean and play favorites and take naps while we're dripping with sweat. coworkers are prejudiced. everything from your appearance to you background is held against you. they will get sued bad someday. morale is low and turnover is high. you do the work of 5 people. never enough people and depending on who you are nothing you do is ever good enough. you have to have you shirt tucked in at all times even in really hot weather. miserable dirty job. old-fashioned company that will probably die with the 96 year old owner. managers make everyone wear masks for covid but won't wear the masks themselves. almost no women or minorities work there. 

Scott Electric policies haven’t been updated since the company was founded.  For your first two years employment  there don’t not expect more then one week off, if you start working there late in the year the company takes days off your already short supply.  After the initial raise to “base pay” for the first year you will receive two raises 6 months part that are about 18-22 cents, after the first year raises are yearly (you don’t get more money because it’s yearly it’s the same pay raise).  Scott Electric is a terrible place to work if you are: fast, hard working, energetic, or intelligent. The ideal Scott Electric employee is a yes man with no drive.                           

(As a side note my warehouse manager informed me while I worked there that all applications turned in by females for the warehouse are immediately thrown away)

Scott Electric is a great place to work and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a job. From office work like accounting or finance, various sales positions, to the warehouse, there are many opportunities within the company to start your career. Since the company has so many positions, there is room for advancement within or to transfer positions if you would like to try something different. They offer a FREE healthcare plan and an ESOP program (stock ownership retirement plan) that gives you an opportunity to have another bucket of funds for when you retire that you don't have to put anything into. There is a whole new management team that has been in place for 2 years now and it has changed the company tremendously and has made the much-needed changes to make this company a better place to work.

Terrible company to work for. Push push push, overload with work and they don't give promised raises! Outside sales people often get very low wages... far less than promised. Management is 1950s style. Very cheap company and poor working conditions. Required non- compete agreement is terrible and keeps wages low because you can't work anywhere that sells anything they do within a hundred miles of any of their locations! That includes batteries, light bulbs, pens, wire, smoke detectors, e.t.c. Good luck with that! They've written to their former employees' new employers telling them they face legal action if they employ you, and worse yet they've taken former employees to court costing thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees. Do yourself a favor and keep looking!

Scott Electric is a very successful company and there are many types of jobs so it is easy to change jobs within the company or to transfer to over 15 locations in PA, OH, MD and WV. You can find a job that you like and work your way up. In fact, the GM was
began his career as a warehouse order filler.
There is a new President as well and there are a lot of exciting changes at Scott Electric. One of the best changes is the upgrade of the Greensburg offices. It is a great time to join the team.

  I was offered the job very next day. I wasn't doing the job I was offered. A little misunderstanding. No big deal. But my hernia got in the way of me performing the duties the Assigned to me. Plus the distance and the state of my vehicle was impossible for me to get back and forth. I didn't like the tucked shirt policy and no shorts either plus the Bi-weekly pay. Other than that everyone there was very helpful. They help you if your need help. They were the nicest, respectful, helpful and understanding employers I've ever worked with. It was sad for me to give up.  But it was out of my control.

Scott Electric has been a staple in the electrical supply industry for a long time and continues to improve and develop in a myriad of ways especially in the last few years with the decisions and improvements new management has made. From brand new corporate office facilities and newly remodeled spaces to great pay and benefits the company prides itself in creating an enjoyable work environment to be a part of. Employees are given the opportunity to grow and advance their careers through proper training and dedication to the company. Overall, Scott Electric does the things it needs to do to create a positive work environment and looks out for the best interests of its employees.
