National Fire Equipment Ltd.

No room for advancement, very disorganized management of product and warehouse foot print. All employees there have been there for more than 6- 9 years and have 0 experience in warehousing except for at National Fire. Everyone is a novice forklift operator with certificates but consistently cause accidents to freight drivers and trucks (no consequences). Supervisor in charge is Belligerent and in more than one occasion has had physical altercations with employees whom were let go even though they were not at fault and later were found to be wrongfully dismissed.

I like that the company respects employee seniority.  It does need more diversity in terms of employee race and background.  The company should encourage employee growth by offering to send them to school, courses or conferences.  The company should also practice more internal employee promotions to reward them of years of service. I enjoyed that the deadlines are not as strict. Also the management should offer flexible hours where summer hours are shorter in exchange for longer hours of work either in the fall or spring.

Able to interact with employees in different department. My coworkers were pretty respectful and easy to get along with.  Just the Controller was not as nice to older employees who's been there longer than her.  The company had to hire 2 employees to replace the AP Manager when the controller did not appreciate how good the AP Manager was at her job. But all the employees who has been there for a long time and have retired have been really good and has been difficult to replace. 

The job was exciting. Go to work at 6am leave by 3pm but there were those days where I’d would leave till 5pm which at times I didn’t mind but when I had plans to attend somewhere after my scheduled time they would purposely make me stay a bit longer when I would be late or miss my appointment. But other than that it was a very good environment with the employees and certain management. I guess the best part of this job were the long delivery drives absolutely loved it. 

Mechanical apptitude and a good memory will serve you well as will your typing speed. You need excellent Forklifting skills and be able to recognize symbolic letter-number sequences which associates with aspects of the product. Memorizing part numbers gets easier as your knowledge picks up on what dimensions and notable aspects of the part relate to the number.

Underpaid and micromanaged by very aggressive supervisors. Everyone is trying to be the boss and lots off gossip and throwing under the bus. Drivers are pushed and monitored by GPS. Warehouse work is pretty laid back and steady paced. Salesman are under pressure to perform with low pay. Busy company so there is always work. 

during my tenure with National , i procured a new location , personally sought out and over saw tradesmen to reconfigure new building for business requirements  requirements . hired all staff , built a brand new product min/ max portfolio . Managed all inside and outside accounts and business developement . there was no support from my company .

Apart from the pay, the culture is good.  The environment is diverse and employees are respectful to each other.  Hardly anybody was rude. The office environment was safe and clean.  Because there was an HR department the employee rights were better implemented.

Typical warehouse work but the workload distribution is not equal. Some staff are extremely busy and has more responsibility while others are just sitting or walking around. Its a everyman for himself environment.

Decent pay for warehouse work, and is pretty relaxed. Management was nice, but sales reps are very under paid with no commission and there are really no opportunities to advance in the company.
