called on existing accounts taking orders from customers,for upcoming projects. delivering previous orders,calling on prospective new clients and selling our products. i enjoyed meeting new people and opening new accounts for the company.

Best job I ever had management superior to any other company believes in customer service standing by its product keeping its word and values employees

Very good company to work, my day consist of pull orders for pick up and will call ; load/unload truck and make deliveries to vendors. the hardest part of my day was unloading/loading the truck in the sun without help .

Over worked for the pay and the management not very organized and stab you in the back if your not in the inner circle. The job itself I enjoyed but lied to about many things

Steady work. Management is the definition of micro-management. Poor employee morale and infighting. Nepotism and failure to discipline and/or let go of bad employees is one of the key reasons not to work there. They really don't get the industry.

An excellent company to learn and grow with. As a member of IT you are never unchallenged or without work. I was able to learn a great amount of new skills and knowledge. Management allows you to be an independant thinker and self starter. The only difficult part of the job is mixing with certain personalities, however this is so with any job. In a – more... nut shell, working for the Waregroup is a great place to learn, grow and maybe even retire. I would have stayed, but life makes changes that you sometimes cannot control. Therefore, it is time to move and continue my journey in the west. – less

A typical day at work is working till you were out of supplies or the work is completed. I learned what was nessary for me to complete every task given to me an to excell within the company.Some managers were ok an others were'nt. Ienjoyed my co-workers were amazing if there was anything that i needed help with there was no problems i had a very godd – more... relationship with everyone. The hardest part of the was knowing your giving 110% an your still not apreciated by management. the most enjoyable part of my day was interacting with my co-workers. – less

I THOUGHT I WOULD RETIRE WITH THE COMPANY, NEVER LOOKED TO BE LAID OFF, BUT THE ECONOMY DICTATED THAT ACTION. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED WORKING WITH PEOPLE AND HAVE AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION WITH 90 PERCENCT OF THE A/C CONTRACTORS IN ALACHUA COUNTY AND A GOOD DEAL OF THE CONTRACTORS IN MARION COUNTY

From open to close during summer months were nonstop customers coming to the order or purchase product from store.
I learned how to navigate through the new Data System that was installed(Invesys). I also learned more about the products being sold by attending classes and seminars.
Management was informative and patient in training me upon starting. – more... After getting familiar with SOP of the store, I was left to operate independently. My co-workers became my close friends.
Dealing with the heat in the warehouse was very difficult.Going to work knowing that I can help someone and make a new friend in the process. – less

Co-workers were really nice.

Some days were very fun to work there. Warehouse guys were playful but got the job done.

Hardest part was leaving to work out of state.

I worked there for a year Managment was terrible. Shipping supervisor is not even qualified. Does not do anything and does not communicate with employees. And does not know how to talk to people.

the job keeps you on the go, the hardest part of the job was the deadlines

Management difficult. Hard work. Must be able to wrk with difficult supervisors.

I worked for Johnstone Supply and was let go in a reduction of foreces. Yet they retained a younger in age with less experience than myself. This was due to unfair treatment by the owner of the Company. I helped this Company get more profit, and worked hard to make it better, and was let go in a reduction of forces,

My experience at Johnstone was bad due to it's weak management. I started off working 1-position & ended up working 2-positions with no extra pay. Always pressured to complete the job on time while some people look on. The shipping manager at the time know it took 2-people to complete the job but refused to force work on the non-working employee, or – more... employees. – less

great place to work family run and family freindly.you deal with people working in the hvac industries thats all ways willing to help out when you have aproblem with orders

I was employed with Johnstone for 6 years. After my long time GM decided to leave the company, the place started going down. I left shortly after due to maternity leave, only to have my position replaced & was told there will be no other position available for me.
