I worked there for three years ending about 4 years ago. The staff were great for the most part (just a couple of exceptions to the rule) but I couldn't get past how bad they were with their receivables. I would be at a plumbing wholesaler and quite frequently their account would be on hold when I needed materials. Sometimes I could go to a different wholesaler, sometimes what I needed was only available at one place. Frequently I would buy stuff on my own account and submit my receipt for reimbursement but then I was a bit of an exception, there I was extending my own credit to the company while other staffers were utterly abusing their company-issued credit cards to the point that we all got ours taken away, at least in the HVAC & Plumbing service dept (ironic, being that we were outperforming other depts). I thought it was utterly incompetent the amount of times that the credit-hold happened, and rather embarrassing to happen at an order desk with numerous staff from the competition bearing witness. It was explained to our dept that the electrical accounts got priority, which was a bit of a kick in the stones.
I see it as an opportunity, there will be some maintenance contracts flapping in the wind right now..... Some with client properties that I was personally familiar with.
