Warehouse Associate

Looking for a career not just a job?

How about a career with an employee-owned company in a dynamic industry? Electrical distribution is rapidly changing, and our employee-owners are empowered to meet these evolving challenges and opportunities by being decisive and innovative. We act like owners, solving problems and taking care of customers because we have a stake in the game.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

We take pride in the work we do each day. We know we’re part of something bigger than ourselves — when our customers are successful, we are successful. In return, we share in the growth and prosperity of our company, including company-contributed ESOP contributions, determined by the company’s profits for the year (unlike 401(k) plans where employees contribute their own money). The company-paid retirement, profit-sharing bonuses and our strong stock growth give you an opportunity to amass significant personal wealth.
