Join the industry leader, an employer of choice and member of the S&P 500! The Management Trainee Program (MIT) is an entry-level hands-on training program based in one of our warehouse distribution centers. It’s ideal for recent college graduates seeking an introductory role in Operations Management or B2B Sales that will lead to long-term career growth opportunities.
POOLCORP is the world's leading wholesale distributor of swimming pool equipment, parts and supplies, and related outdoor living products. The company operates over 440 locations worldwide with more than 6,000 employees through three primary distribution networks: SCP Distributors LLC, Superior Pool Products LLC, and Horizon Distributors Inc.
Camaraderie and teamwork are the cornerstones of our program. Manager Trainees (MITs) are encouraged to form collaborative relationships with their peers and co-workers. Our family-oriented, hometown culture is supported by a stable, large corporate enterprise – giving you the best of all worlds.
No pool industry experience needed! This entry-level program is designed to prepare MITs for opportunities in B2B Sales and Operations Management within six months.
MITs are hosted at distribution centers across the U.S. and Canada, where they learn regional products and are provided structured hands-on training in every position.
During orientation, we cover the basics, including: POOLCORP history, policies & procedures, benefits, and operating priorities. Our goal is to provide you with industry knowledge, leadership skills and the tools necessary to succeed!
We recognize there are many different learning styles. The program is a combination of hands-on work experience at the warehouse distribution center, customer visits and formal classroom training.
MITs will travel once a month for a full week to our state-of-the-art EDGEucation facility in Plano, TX to participate in classroom lectures, projects, and role plays.
After each session, MITs return to their training warehouse for the remainder of the month to apply the concepts and material presented by the EDGE team.
Aside from the direct impact you will have on your warehouse distribution center, our leadership team is always eager to hear from our future leaders and encourages them to implement change. You will have an opportunity at the conclusion of the program to discuss your MIT experience and innovative ideas to Senior Level Management.
MITs also participate in a community service project, such as helping to create food boxes for those in need.
