Pros

There are still some long-term employees that are great to work with. I believe they try to make a nice work environment. If you want to be an individual contributor for the rest of your career they do a nice job of providing accommodations. There are many divisions to choose from among various job functions. Good Healthcare, 401 K is okay employer contribtions are good.

Cons

Schneider Electric reinvents itself about every three years into a totally different company new rule new acronyms. They place people in executive and middle management positions that do not have people skills and little experience in the business. They do not like to home grow leadership as a whole it is the preference to hire someone outside the company that has no experience in the industry. They are very focused on performance and customer not on the employee. HR thinks that they are very focused on employees but, the reality is the Business units and HR have differing goals which many times conflict leaving the employee in the middle or left out. Don't Join Schnieder Electric if you are looking for leadership opportunities they want to be a flat organization 20 to 30 direct reports per manager. Schnieder wants to manage every decision for the entire company from just one location.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
