Our journey begins with the powerful concept of “family”. Across the board, from those who have been with the company for decades to those who are just starting their careers, this sentiment echoes consistently. For one person, it’s a place that “not only I call home… my family calls home”. Another finds that even after nearly three decades, the company has become more than just a job—it’s home. A new hire, who was hesitant to even apply, was surprised to find a culture that made them feel like they belonged from day one. This feeling of belonging isn’t just a catchphrase; it’s a living, breathing part of the Hunton Distribution experience.
The culture at Hunton Distribution is built on a foundation of mutual respect, trust, and care. One long-time employee shared that they have always felt respected, valued, and trusted, which is a rare feeling to find in a company. Another felt that their high expectations were “significantly exceeded” because of the people they work with. This trust extends from leadership down, where employees feel they are valued and not just another number. Our leaders don’t just lead; they listen, support, and show up when it matters most. They are described as smart, strong, and committed to success, but also as people who value their team and know how to have fun. This leadership style is a winning formula that inspires the entire team.
The people at Hunton Distribution genuinely care about each other. This care shines through in countless stories. One person recounted their first day, where a coworker, who was about to go on maternity leave the next day, made a special effort to greet them with a warm welcome and a Chick-fil-A breakfast. This small gesture set the tone for all their future experiences at the company. Another employee shared how the company has been there for them through every major life milestone, from deaths and tragedies to marriages and births. This unwavering support during both good times and bad is a testament to the fact that Hunton views its employees as more than just a workforce. One employee who faced a family illness found that the company gave them the flexibility and support they needed, something that would have been impossible in their previous career.
Beyond the internal culture, Hunton’s reputation in the industry and its commitment to customers and community are significant draws for employees. The company is known for its “outstanding customer service and support”. One person chose to work at Hunton Distribution because of its reputation as the “best in class” organization in the area and industry. The company’s focus on helping customers become more profitable and build a great reputation is a source of pride for employees. This customer-centric mindset is a core part of the company’s identity. One person, who has been in the industry for 17 years and worked for other suppliers, can honestly say that Hunton Distribution genuinely cares about its customers and employees.
The company’s private ownership is another key factor in its success and unique culture. Without the bureaucracy and “red tape” of larger corporations, out-of-the-box ideas can be implemented quickly. This environment attracts like-minded individuals and fosters a powerful sense of teamwork. It’s a breath of fresh air for those coming from a more structured corporate background. This feeling that the company cares as much about its employees as it does about sales numbers is what makes everyone want to do better.
Hunton Distribution also distinguishes itself with its strong community involvement. The company gives back to the Houston community without expecting anything in return. From supporting programs like Backpacks for Kids to being involved with non-profit organizations, the company and its owners and employees are always physically engaged. This philanthropic focus, particularly the work with St. Jude, has even inspired employees to pursue their own passions for giving back. For one employee, the company’s focus on creating comfort for others while also investing in its people and community is a key reason they chose to work there.
The opportunity for professional and personal growth is also a major reason people stay at Hunton Distribution. The company encourages and provides training for each department. One person mentioned how a manager’s encouragement helped them overcome a fear of public speaking to teach a training class. This type of support helps people grow in ways they never thought they could. The management team and owner are also open to new ideas from all employees and take action on those ideas. This sense of being heard and having a genuine path for development is a significant motivator.
The overall feeling of happiness and gratitude is a recurring theme. One person noted how the positive energy and friendly vibe of the office make it a happy place to be. Another shared a poignant story about how Hunton Distribution has eliminated their “Sunday scaries” and made them look forward to the work week. This culture of happiness starts at the top and is a testament to the leadership that has built this environment.
