Pros

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.

I am sorry you had a bad experience at Capital Electric. Our values are to be Accountable, Respectful, Ethical, Profitable, Professional and Innovative. I believe our one thousand associates work hard every day to live up to these principals. All the best, Alan

No real negative feedback. It's great place to work and grow. Those that are not up to the challenge will have challenges.
