Sid Harvey Industries

A typical day at work is stressful everyday , some of the people that work there don't care about the place & are always constantly in the way on equipment. Sing , dance , yell , use your cellphone on the floor , management doesn't care what anybody does because the boss doesn't like confrontation &  because of that certain people get away with whatever nonsense on a daily basis & when i say a daily basis its literally every single day. Even the assistant manager doesn't care. I believe I learned absolutely nothing about this job only that clowning around will still get you a paycheck every two weeks and that there is no management at all. Be careful who you talk to in that place DO NOT TRUST NOBODY ! The employees run the place. Don't waste your time talking about any concerns or what's going on with your day that you think is wrong nothing good is gonna come out of it. There is nothing hard about this job or enjoyable about the job but maybe if your use to being a clown at work all your life then this job would be perfect for you ! 

For the most part my work there wasn’t too demanding. The biggest glaring issue is that the company definitely could have handled their response to covid better. There is a lack of actually listening to employee input and HR really is not much help. Several of the departments do no function well with their supervisors not knowing how to properly manage their employees so it all depends on what department you end up working in as to whether you will have an okay time working there or not. It is an easy entry level job but there is no real room for growth. The company is very old fashioned and could definitely serve to modernize. Harder working employees tend to be taken advantage of in several areas of the company because management simply doesn’t fire anyone who may be underperforming. If you’re capable of separating your personal beliefs about proper work ethic from your performance, you’ll do alright here.

Please reconsider working in the purchasing department for this company.  The management is the worst in the industry and their turnover rates show it.  This place is called the "revolving door" by the other departments.  Training is non-existent here, but the unprofessional behavior from the department manager is front and center.  Being berated and lied about is common practice here.  The company does not care about their employees and that is a shame because there are some really good people that work here.  

A typical day would start at 6:45 / 7:00am until finished around 5:00pm.
I learned everything on my own watch videos online there is no training at the Groton store.
Management, SB, was very useless ( spent six an a half to seven hours out of the day in the bathroom ) The rest of the day Cooking on the grill an reading his Kindle.
If your no into certain sport you are outcasted.
One of the hardest parts of the job was watching the laziness of the manager an his other employee watching , Movies , YouTube , TicToc , Facebook , on there phones or company computers.
The most enjoyable part was being on the road all day delivering to the customers.
After five years  of working there an getting frustrated with all of the above I made a formal complaint with HR an was retaliated against an Fired.

A typical day at work consists of a fast paced work environment and a work load that sometimes borders on overwhelming; time management skills are necessary. I have learned to think in terms of inventory management, as well as how to prioritize objectives and to manage my time effectively. Emphasis is placed on doing things in the most efficient manner possible. Management gets things done as far as financial growth of the company is concerned. The hardest part of the job is completing day to day operations when people are on vacation or out sick, due to the fact that there are only nine employees total including the branch manager and the warehouse crew consists of two people. The most enjoyable part of the job is using the forklift to pull equipment and load/unload trucks.

A day working for Sid Harvey Industries was a good experience. First thing in the morning you can have a bagel and coffee, and everyone is allowed time to get settled into their work sites. As long as you set yourself up for the day ahead you should get through the day with no issues. During my employment at Sid Harvey I have learned to work under pressure and still maintain my professionalism, which was not hard at all since the management and coworkers were very welcoming, helpful and understanding. The hardest part of the job was trying to remember everyone's name when I first started LOL. The most enjoyable part of the job was having bagel or pizza day the last Friday of every month.

Having spent over 20 years at Sid Harvey, and having assumed numerous job functions, I saw virtually all aspects of corporate inter workings.

Management was intelligent, but often dysfunctional. Co-workers: friendly but often uninformed. The hardest part of the job, working for a privately held corporation, was the lack of professionalism shown by ownership.

The most enjoyable part of working for Sid's was freedom my immediate superiors allowed me in my daily work.

I worked for Sid Harvey Industries for 2 years, as a support desk tech.  We worked with a large number of HVAC clients, assisting the individuals in acquiring their needed hardware supplies, as well as remotely accessing their in-office computer systems, in order to tweak programs that they relied on, regarding their inventory and reporting systems.
Good experience with a well-respected service company.

Arriving to work an hour early to take customer orders and pull and load for delivery. Management was poor and needs improvement and motivation. Co-workers were scarce and didn't last, or we're unreliable. The most enjoyable part of the job is the customer interaction and driving. Hardest part of the job was physically moving the equipment, and high volume of phone calls.

The company is long time family owned and operated HVAC wholesale company. Management is great. Good work environment. Medical, PTO, advancement opportunities, training. Overall good company to work for.
