Turtle

The place has too many bosses that just don’t have a clue or care for the people that work for them. Jokers to the right & clowns to the left. The training is trash. Never provide any structure to communicate. They say anything for you to get into the door. Promises about work life balance & being a family company are all lies. If have a family dont expect to see them. I was expected to work 10-12 hour days. They are not to be trusted. I took the position to learn something & all I learned is how conniving they all are behind your back. Very high school level management. They beat the joy of the job right out of you. I regretted accepting the position almost immediately & stuck around for improvements that never happened. Fake facade of management wears thin. They had issue with me using the time off that I earned & they approved. It’s not anyway to run a business I was told. Clueless as treat people like a number. I wasn’t even allowed back to collect my belongings - received a call on a Monday morning just to stop coming in. Real classy way to treat any worker. They did me a favor so do yourself a favor & stay away. Beware of the witch out west. You have been warned. Way more options in the area of want a bad job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
A paycheck. Also, nobody cares about you and you’re completely replaceable so no pressure to succeed or make something of yourself here. They worship the almighty dollar and nothing else 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The commute to Hauppauge. Whoever decided all jobs need to be located in the middle of the island within a 7 miles radius is a sick sonofagun 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. Higher ups are never present and refuse to make any sort of accommodations if you’re pregnant or have a family to care for. They guilt you for your time out, saying someone else had to carry your load. Also, they refuse to let anyone but sales work from home. If they can’t make money off you, you’re not in the family. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring and pointless. As a distributor we are the middle man who muddy the waters and this company is completely not necessary in todays world.

Turtle & Hughes is a privately owned wholesale electrical distributor that is a rapidly growing company. With roughly 300+ employees on hand, there are many available job opportunities to which a prospective employee would deem a suitable fit. Management is top-notch and very personable. Like any company, office politics are involved; however, there is very little nepotism and there is a high standard for equal employment/opportunities. I have worked with many wonderful employees and upper management during my time at Turtle & Hughes. The environment is very laid back and casual. I started here out of college very green behind the ears and have grown into senior management officer with vast ranges of experience in financial analysis, risk assessment, collections, receivables and management.

You never knew what management running the building from other locations wanted to do or expected. Once a new GM was announced it got even worse. Very clueless & didn’t care about the people inside the building. The people inside the building were expendable if didn’t kiss up or bow down to their highness. You can show up everyday, do what was told & still outside management would have an issue. My manager was new & he would state he didn’t have a clue what was expected. He didn’t receive any training so was tough for me to learn. Serious lack of communication, expectation & care for the people working in the building without any support. The place sets you up to fail. 

This company is all over the place when it comes to the west coast establishments. They have clear favorites and do not treat their workers properly. They were constantly laying people off and hiring new help. The pay isn't that great either and when asked about raises it wasn't a viable option for the company because the west coast companies weren't performing. However, they kept taking everything that our branch need to succeed away and giving it to their more favored branches. Overall, the company isn't fair and many of the managers do not have a back bone to stand for you.

A typical day at turtle u come in the morning most of the times u have no idea what route u will be doing unless, u r a favorite one then u get a stay route. That’s probably the hardest part of ur day n may if ur driving in the 5 boroughs it can be challenging. Management is for the most part good n will listen to ur concerns and try to fix them in a timely manner.overall I think it’s a good company they try to do little things to make if feel like a family business. The pay is good 


Great Company.   I was lucky enough to get stuck with the only bonehead in the company.  Every officer of the company was a great person..

I happened to get stuck with a manager who was starting with a new department of  the company.  I did not realize how much knowledge he lacked about our trade.   He underbid every job , I mean he was so off with his pricing that our material cost would be more that our contract cost.  Enough said.

Besides that everyone else at Turtle was a blessing to work with.   It's too bad that things did not work out differently.

Working for 8-10 hours straight but you get an hour lunch break in the air conditioning with nice tables and cable TV. Everyone there is easy to get along with, great people. As long as you are keeping busy and doing what you need to do you will be fine. Hardest part of the job is sometimes we would be shorthanded for the work that needed to be done and would be required to stay past midnight getting orders out. Sometimes this was enjoyable though working with a team of great guys to get stuff done, it could be quite fulfilling.
