Job Description:
Hajoca Corporation is one of the country’s largest
privately-held wholesale distributors of plumbing, heating &
cooling, and industrial supplies. Founded in 1858, Hajoca is a
company based on the principles of “Service, Integrity,
Reliability,” and on relationships of trust and support with
teammates, customers, and suppliers. Throughout its history, Hajoca
has played an active role in shaping advances in plumbing. However,
we attribute our success to two simple truths; a unique business
philosophy and talented people. Hajoca is all about the people, who
give us our advantage, and who will guide us successfully into the
future. Although Hajoca is a large company, we work in a
decentralized environment where each of our locations, called
Profit Centers (PCs), is run by the Profit Center Manager as if it
were their own small business. A typical Profit Center is the heart
of our business and consists of a warehouse, counter, sales office,
and (sometimes) a showroom. Our PCs conduct business under unique
trade names and offer a customized business approach, honoring
what’s special about each local marketplace. Treaty Supply is one
of those trade names and is looking for a Sales and Leadership
Trainee at their Greenville, OH location. Are you looking to pursue
