Summary
Job title: Profit Center Trainee
Job ID: 202381900010
Department: Spokane - CED
Location: WA-Spokane
Description
Summary:
The Profit Center Trainee position is essentially CED's management training program, but with the intention of ending up in a high-caliber role at the PC.
Those roles can be broken down into three categories:
Operations:
Project Quotations
Project Management
Purchasing
Sales:
Outside Sales
Inside Sales
Counter Sales
Management:
Sales Manager
Operations Manager
Department Lead
PC Manager
Your training track will depend on your natural skill set and goals as a Trainee, agreed upon with PC Manager, but they will all have the same basic formula:
Warehouse Training (6-8 weeks)
Counter Sales (4-6 Months)
Inside Sales (4-6 Months)
At this point the training track will split off. Sales and Management will go onto Outside Sales (if necessary), Operations will go onto Project Management.
Either way, in order to progress, you must show exceptional competency at each phase.
