Management Trainee Program

Have you ever dreamt of owning and operating a small business? CED gives managers and employees a great amount of autonomy and empowers them to make the best decisions for their customers, fellow employees, and their location.

Does the idea of "getting paid what you're worth" or "setting your own salary" sound enticing to you?

CED uses the profit-sharing model, along with a competitive base-salary, to compensate all employees at each location. This means the whole team is working to improve their business because they all get to participate in the success.

Are you looking for a company with a high retention rate and is a financially stable company for your peace of mind? CED has an industry-leading retention rate. We do this through our amazing culture and providing a good work-life balance.

Do you like not being "tied-down" to living in a certain area? CED has over 700 locations in 49 different states, giving you a multitude of options for location. Even with all those locations – we are local. Our value proposition to our local customers is local people, with local inventory, and local knowledge to help you achieve your business outcomes.

Are you looking for a career where you aren't doing the same, monotonous task day-in and day-out? In the life of a manager, your days will always be different. Whether you're making sales calls, meeting with vendors, analyzing your inventory, managing employees, etc., your days will always be different.

Does traveling to new cities and areas excite you? Through the Management Trainee Program, trainees get to travel to learn about the different products we sell from the companies that produce them and see how they are made first-hand.

"I have no experience with electricity, electrical products, and I wouldn't even know where to start." CED's management training program teaches top candidates every skill for every job in each facet of our fast-paced, profitable industry. We take you into the heart of what we do through a five phase, 2 to 3 year structured rotational program that’s tailored to meet your learning needs and set you up with all the tools to successfully manage your own location.
