Be aware and cautious of internal upper management. 

Your expected to be a robot. Upper management do not  like mistakes being made as well as a huge concern for the amount of micromanaging being done on a regular basis. You will not be trusted to do your job from the get go and everything you do, say, and feel will be annotated and talked about behind closed doors. Also be aware if you are a parent, they have no sense of understanding for having to take off for sick kids or family obligations. They will portray to understand but will again will annotate each day you took off for family obligations and will count it against you if your work performance is affected. 

Warehouse needs vital changes to all processes and inventory/auditing time of year is not something to look forward to. Other warehouse personnel are stuck in their ways. They will no longer choose to handle tasks once you are up to speed and communication is poor. 

As a newer employee at Cook and Boardman, I can verify that I have had quality training from those within my department and external departments. Everyone has been welcoming, accommodating, and available to unforeseen events (sickness), training questions, and providing information regarding development opportunities. I have seen several people transition to other positions within the company for professional growth, have been involved in numerous planning meetings, and have had the opportunities to train in other areas which provides opportunities for personal development and future growth within the company. The organization hosts quarterly company-wide meetings to update staff on new developments, and answers questions from all employees. I have the opportunity to work hybrid; which means I am in the office two days a week, and working remotely three days a week-with all supplies provided.

I worked at the Simpsonville office as a temp to perm, had no tardiness and great attendance - was not trained in all the aspects I was promised and then when I completed my temp to perm contract hours they made me APPLY for the very position I was already working and then told me not to return to work.  This was over 520 hours dedicated to the Simpsonville, South Carolina office and literally doing all the leg work to get a response to hiring me permanently.  The Simpsonville office is like working in a morgue - if you enjoy complete silence or listening to people say how much they hate their job then this is the place for you.  I was there about 4 months and most people hardly said 2 words to me during that time.  The warehouse staff was great!!!  Very disappointed with the outcome of my time there.

A typical day at work.
First I would sit down at my desk. I would cut on my radio and sit back to think about the day before what I did not get done and what I needed to get done and what my next project is going to be
. With each company I would learn there procedure and how I could develop it into what I already knew to make my job easier.
Management was great as long as was there and done your work they would leave you along. 
the workplace was also great. To work with different culture was fun and we got along with everyone.
They hardest part of the job would be when you could not get a response from your customer and knowing the fact that you was under a schedule.
The most enjoyable part of the job would when everything comes together and all the material is at the jobsite completely install and the job is finished.

I have been with Cook & Boardman for over two years, and am still "waiting for the other show to drop", in terms of how healthy our culture is. I've not experienced a healthier work/life balance. That balance, other areas of employee wellness/empowerment, are priorities that come from the very top of the organization, and it shows.

I know for a fact that our leadership "walks the walk" when it comes to living out our values, and the priority placed on celebrating, supporting, and empowering employees is felt daily.  The success & growth of the company is directly tied to employee empowerment, and will continue to be. 

I genuinely love my job, the people I get to work with, and the values/initiatives I contribute to - it's what compelled this review.
