The SRS Distribution Inc. Management Training Program is designed to be a hands-on program, where you will learn and make contributions on your first day! You will have full access to everyone at the branch, while mentored by a team of people, even up to your Senior VP. Your goal is to learn all aspects of our business, culture, and core values, so that you can rise to the position of Branch Manager and beyond. We have a dedicated Talent Management team working with you and your mentors so that your experience is like no other in the industry.

 

SRS believes in hiring military veterans at any level for any position. We know your service trained you in many of the areas we value, such as; leadership, teamwork, performance, integrity, and safety. If your experience matches our requirements, we want you to apply today.

 

Looking for smart, hard-working candidates with the following criteria and interests: 

·      Will relocate for training and promotions to advance career. 50% of this training program would be based out of one of our 60 locations selected to host an MIT and the second half would be completed at another location. You would also relocate for promotion out of the program.

·      Bachelor’s degree with strong academic achievements and work ethic.

·      Ready for a hands-on, in depth 8 to 18-month program at a branch or a group of branches.

·      Interest in managing a multimillion-dollar operation or a sales role.

·      Career Path: Operations Manager, Assistant Branch Manager, Branch Manager, or Territory Manager

 

The “MIT” program:

Management Trainees will be hands-on from day one as you learn every position in the branch. Other training will consist of individual coaching, conference calls, webinars, online courses, product demonstrations, webinars and one week of training class in Dallas, TX a few months after you start. At corporate, you will meet the people who support and our executive team, learn valuable information from industry legends, and add key sales and management skills to help you shine. It’s here where you will also meet other Management Trainees from across the US.

 

The Management Trainee Program is designed to last approximately 8 to 18 months. Each person and experience is different and the suggested assignments and timelines may vary. You will gain knowledge and experience regarding how to manage a multimillion-dollar SRS distribution center, by mastering the following subject areas such as; product knowledge, software, fleet maintenance, safety, warehouse operations, human resources (people management and recruiting), financial performance, sales administration, pricing, supply chain, transportation, and sales.

  

Your path:

Your goal is to be promoted to an Operations Manager or Assistant Branch Manager first, or right into managing a small branch as a Branch Manager. As a Branch Manager, you will act like a CEO and manage and grow a branch of your own by developing your people; building relationships with your staff, customers, and vendors; creating a plan for your branch; forecasting and managing a budget; selling our products; and being a visible member in the community. All with the support of a strong management team and a supportive corporate staff. You will be required to work smart and have fun along the way.
