Tropic Supply, Inc.

Tropic Supply is a great place to work and grow in both, your personal and professional life. Tropic Supply has given me multiple opportunities to learn and grow in my career. If you are willing to work hard and learn, you will have lots of opportunity to advance. I knew nothing about the HVAC industry when I started, but I was given the chance to learn and attend training sessions and learn more about the business. Tropic Supply wants to promote from within as much as possible. Tropic has continually grown as a business every year and new opportunities are always opening up for people that want to grow in their career. They are also a very family friendly atmosphere and truly do care about every team member. They are a family owned business and every team member is treated like family.

I loved working with the warehouse workers and the driver's .even most office workers made me feel welcomed.but you have to ask yourself why is there such a big turnover in workers? Mostly drivers and warehouse someone is quitting every week mostly because it is a hard and hot work.the sunrise location is 100x worse.no fans,no ventilation but I did enjoy all the people I worked with.we was a team to get the job done.but upper management was the worse.let me go with one mistake.they say they are a family business but could care less about YOUR family.its a business run by father and son and "friends".if your not management your replaceable at any time.i was there for over a year and the driver's and warehouse guys were hard workers and some of the best I ever worked with.but now I know why the high turnover.

Antiquated software, Inexperienced Store Manager, nepotism, favoritism , not being bilingual made this position very difficult . Majority of customers do not speak English. I learned that many years of experience did not aid in my employment there. Caffeine( excessive) and Nicotine use( Management always smelled like cigarettes).

When the company started to expand they did not up-grade to a computer system , I was using the peg- board system to process over 300 checks a  month by hand , also i was responsible for managing the variance report everyday as well as closing the books, and balancing all journals{ ,accts.payable} at the end of every month. this was very tedious but i will say i learned a lot.My controller was a perfectionist so i learned to become on too.

Tropic is a great place to learn the business!  They sell almost everything and you will learn the business, but not because they teach you.  You have to pay attention.  Learn everything you can and move on!  You'll never be a manager! That's for the good old boys. 

Excellent benefits! Bad leadership! A foot in the door of the HVAC business. You decide, but watch your back. They will drop you like a hot potato!  Unless you a good old boy.

It's a great working environment that teach you everything you need to know about the air conditioning business and more it also gives you a break down on all the air conditioning parts that's compatible with each units that's a combination with a property.
