After 15 years with Eck Supply,which was a great company to work for, we were bought by Sonepar and taken over by the management of Capital Electric . I was the Area Manager for Eck in South Carolina and we consistently grew our business until taken over by Capital. I was terminated for "not being on board" With no more explanation than that I can only conclude it was because I had opinions based on my experience and knowledge i.e. I wasn't a yes man. One big pro is digital technology,but Senior management does not value people.
Cons
The president of the company rules like a dictator. Mid level management is weak by design,because the president does not care to have other people's input. I am not the only former Eck area manager to be terminated,because we were encouraged to provide input when we were under Eck management.
