It is a policy to adhere to good business principles and to provide customers with honesty and integrity.

SUMMIT Electric Supply supports its associates with programs that go above and beyond the standard expectations. For example, SUMMIT Electric Supply employees have an associate loan program which allows employees to take a loan from SUMMIT for 12 months with no interest. Employees are offered bonuses for completing in-house training modules and both full- and part-time employees are afforded tuition reimbursement. For those seeking religious comfort, a chaplain is available to any employee requesting help.
