Pros

A culture of great people who strive to work hard every day. The employees are a true family. The people around you are not just your co-workers, but people who will do almost anything for you.

Cons

The executive level management has lost touch with the company and its people. And I've been working for this family through multiple companies for many years. They don't even walk around the corporate office and say hello anymore. (A former daily point of pride for some ownership). I've always felt that my entire family was part of the Chadwell family, but, I know otherwise. During a storm that closed most of the county, my coworkers were punished because they needed to care for their children. Owners were around the building telling us that they should have been choosing work over their kids, or that "their wives should be home taking care of the kids". The sexism is embarrassing. I think we're to the point that the payouts to the ownership is more important than the people doing the work to fill their pockets every day, and not the welfare of the greatest asset, their employees.

Chadwell Supply Response

Thank you for your review and comments. We are proud to use Payscale Reports - http://www.payscale.com - to ensure that we are offering a competitive wage regardless of gender. We are also proud of our Partial-Day PTO program that doesn't force an employee to take an entire day when they need just a few hours to care for an ill loved one. Weather events like we experienced recently in Hillsborough county bring out all kinds of emotions as we make hard choices about what to do in the next hour or day. We need to be sensitive to the needs of individuals as they make decisions regarding how to best care for loved ones. We also must recognize that our Tampa-based group supports hundreds of families who work at Chadwell Supply across the Eastern United States, and that we must rise to meet that challenge, as best we can, during unforeseen events. It is difficult, and it calls for patience and grace under pressure. Family businesses are far from perfect, but it is good to hear that we have a culture that includes great people who strive to work hard every day. That kind of feeling does not exist in every company, so we cherish that sentiment and seek to build upon that strength. I welcome further discussion on how we can make that happen. You can reach out to me via phone, email or just drop by my office. With Gratitude, Robert Chadwell
