Warehouse Associate Closer

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.

• Starting pay at $18/hr-$20/hr based on experience and with yearly merit evaluations
• Quarterly bonus potential and mid-year/year-end profit sharing bonuses
• Company funded Retirement contributions up to 15% through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan
• Monday - Friday Schedule with 12 days of PTO to start (1 day increase per year of service)

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.
