These days it is rare to have employee longevity, but Braxton-Bragg recently celebrated 16 employees who have been with the company more than a decade, and six who have more than five years of service.
Jack Harrison, who started as one of company founder Doug Slocum’s first employees in 1995, tops the list with more than 20 years of service handling warehouse orders. Approaching two decades with more than 18 years, is Larry Hood, editor of Slippery Rock Gazette. Hood began his Braxton-Bragg career providing catalog design and freelance graphics for the Slippery Rock in 1998, and was officially brought on staff about two years later.
“I was here in 1995, helping Braxton-Bragg set up shop and have worked in the warehouse shipping and receiving department ever since,” says Harrison. “I love the people here, and they have always treated me well and rewarded me for taking pride in my job. Braxton-Bragg is growing by leaps and bounds, and I am excited to see where we go from here.”
“To become CEO of a company that has such loyal employees has been a breath of fresh air,” says Rick Stimac, who took the reins in October 2017.
“Many of them have taught me about our industry, and provided history on where Braxton-Bragg came from, so that we were able to strategically plan our future,” said Stimac.
Braxton-Bragg has streamlined operations, and added numerous vendor partnerships since Stimac came on board, expanding the stone fabrication CNC offering, as well as flooring essentials.
Since its beginning in 1995, Braxton-Bragg’s philosophy has been to offer the best customer service and the best value for the money. This is accomplished by providing quality tile, stone and concrete tooling and supplies at the best prices and best in-stock availability.
