Pros

Benefits. Other BUs are open to collaboration if you are persistent in your outreach and bring something to the table. A lot of great people work at Schneider. Good place to start out a career for a year (2 years max) to get hands-on experience. After that, move externally for career growth, and market-rate pay - moving internally will not result in pay raises more than 2-5%.

Cons

No employment contract was ever provided, only an offer letter. Compensation is far below market. Commission structure and payouts are altered at will to the benefit of the company. Culture is very much determined by the team management - meaning if you are unlucky enough to land with a toxic manager(s), your life will be made a living hell, your commissions reduced at will or withheld entirely, and any attempt to transfer to another team or business unit will be undermined. HR is zero help. No work-life balance. High performers are not valued and are seen as a threat by some in key positions.

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
