What is the best part of working at the company?
The co workers and getting to learn about the hvac and plumbing business 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is terrible sit at their desk all day because they say their job is to "delegate" but it was just playing telephone manager tells supervisor to do something supervisor tells shift leads to do it shift leads tell team members to do it ridiculous structure and way too big of a workload for an understaffed team no support at all will feed you lies to get you to play their game but as soon as you speak out the manager plots to get rid of you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Given random task not conducive to operations that actually interfere with daily task and then you get told off for not finishing things when there isnt enough time or a big enough team to do so most days I was the lone member of my shift

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get over worked get told by a person sitting at a desk that its not hard when they rarely ever actually have to deal with it management laughing off their mistake but discipline team members for their mistakes

I enjoyed working for the Regional VP, but when my department was placed under the CFO, matters took a turn for the worse.  The CFO was engaged in empire-building, and not in doing what was best for the company, and felt that with two months of experience as my senior, that they could do a better job of managing credit.  After laying me off, the CFO proceeded to foul up several relationships with customers I had carefully cultivated and worked with, and some of the larger ones departed because I was no longer there.  This was reported to me by a friend in Sales, and also by a finance consultant who knew a couple of them and passed it on to me.

Very busy all of the time. Usually understaffed but they don't put up with riff raff or unreliable co-workers. The people who hang around and make it through are usually good, hard working people. Management is usually pretty busy but are more or less happy to help wherever they can. At the end of the day it's hard work and that's not for everyone. system's a little quirky - Hardest part of the job is not knowing when we'll be done every day. But then again, my week ends are always free and I really like that. Most of the people I work with are pretty cool - probably my favorite part of the job other than the ice chests full of Gatorade and water when it's hot out.  

This is the place to be if you do not care about work/ life balance, over bearing stress and limited support from executives. As a manager, it is difficult to drive a healthy culture and be successful when you receive limited training and your first 30/60/90 onboarding is all putting out fires, being the sole HR Representative and still being asked why things are so messed up when it was a mess that has lingered from previous months. The ROM is not aligned with the overall policies. He will not pay you sick time if you quit within 90 days. This was news to me. I've been in companies with long work hours and extreme stress but there was support, appreciation, recognition and a sense of care. Not here!!!

Well when the owners/new owners, neglect some thing for so long-  It’s hard to find the right person to come in there and pick the pieces up. Changing bad: culture, habits, nepotism, lack of structure and not unifying process and procedures across the board is extremely hard and you need the right team. They don’t have the right leadership then no given you don’t have a good team. It’s very chaotic! If you haven’t learn thick skin or you’re not a go-getter, you won’t last! They don’t pay well. Tune over rate is crazy! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
My coworkers were great. Very supportive team environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of team members to handle the volume of business. Lack of a support from upper management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture they present upfront sounds great. The actual culture is you are supposed to live and breath Slakey Brothers and not ask questions or go against anything upper management says.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work a 12 hour day with no lunch break due to lack of staffing.

I feel as if it is a group consensus that working conditions in this warehouse are below par, management could take extra steps to cool down the warehouse by adding more fans and taking into consideration that safety is more important than production. On multiple order pickers the safety bar is missing which is a hazard, and it is overlooked. As a member of the swing shift, I was forced to work long hours because management cannot properly staff for the workload at hand. I think it’s very important that these issues be addressed to improve working conditions.

Poor management, they don't know how to relate to employees, all white management they hire from within .

Go! go! go! No leadership! En experienced staff

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the people and their attitudes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
at some locations the attitude and culture are manageable...at the smaller facilities...a lot of favoritism and discrimination.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
getting whipped like a dog to help customers because they are always in a hurry because they forgot to plan and they say their time is valuable.  So. it is allowed to badger and bully by the customers.

Poor management management does nothing about the rumors or certain employees talking behind your back too many no calls no shows not enough people working Warehouse when when calls out or doesn't show up for work you or by yourself unloading loading and putting stock away pay not enough for the amount of work you do and not truthful about what you're going to be paid when you get hired
