Torbram Electric Supply

Torbram Electric Supply is a decent environment to work at. Different positions require different and more responsibilities as any other job.
Being a driver is an average position. Enjoyable to drive around the Lower Mainland in beautiful cities. Familiarizing common roads and highways will become second nature to one. Delays in delivery and pickups due to traffic and weather conditions is expected. Having to lift heavy items is a daily routine. Dealing with good and friendly coworkers is a plus. Product knowledge is an asset prior to inside sales, but not mandatory. Management often neglects employees and focuses more on the customer service. Good money for someone with no or little bills to pay. However, not an ideal amount pay for someone living on their own. Hard to move up in the company, and when one does... it's still expected to not have the greatest of pays.
Workload and responsibilities is not worth the pay this company has to offer, including overtime pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You will learn quickly and there is always someone to help you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours are not always 8 to 5 each day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a fast pace and everyone is always busy.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day starts at 6:30 helping customers who walk through the door. Pack up the truck and delivery the customers parts to the job site on time. My day is over with when all the parts are delivered. Report any mistakes that happened in the day to the boss.

Working for Torbram is a peculiar in that they offer splendid rewards for the highest achievements but also the most stubborn resistance to them. If you are a keen sales minded individual who can accept the limitations of working for a company focusing on small markets, then Torbram is a great company to work for.

You are expected to do everything, all the time, and all for nothing. Low pay, high stress, high demand, and lack of professional growth. Advancement within this company has nothing to do with experience. Its a simple matter of how long you have been with Torbram, and who you are best pals with in management. This is a dead end job in my opinion and I would never work here again even if my wage had been doubled...

There was just no mental challenge or professional growth.

Go to work check mail, answer phones and direct calls,data input,filing,process client payments,sent faxes,checked inventory and up dated it as required,made bank deposit daily,sent and recieved packages,greeted customers. Management was good and co-workers were pleasant. The most enjoyable part of the job was regular set full time hours,and of course always having contact with clients and customers.

Completely mismanaged, unprofessional at the Richmond,  BC office. Voiced concerns to General Manager and requested a transfer. They took his side. In the exiting interview, I expressed my feelings of his management skills (or lack of) professionally.this was a case of misrepresentation of the position and wrongful dismissal.

Always a full day of deliveries, and always on the go. Managers and coworkers are all great to work with and make the job very enjoyable. Nothing is overly difficult but emergency rush orders can really throw your day an unexpected curve ball. The best part of the job is being on the road as well as interacting with customers.

Great place to work in beginning, new management came in and cleaned out all old staff "just because" wanted his own staff,,,
manager created a negative environment in the work place
always "setting up people" ,,,a discrimative  manager
Courtenay BC Torbram...

Started off a great place
the lack of support from head office, made it a stressful place to work
Long hours that were not appreciated or credited to you

Great customer base, other employees were the only resource

Made so great contacts and great friendships

A learning experience, that taught me there are better places to work.The reason why I feel this way is because they preach about not being a company that micro-manages their employees, but were dishonest about this fact. The pay structure is one of the lowest salaries in this field, to which I now know this reason.
