Pros

None, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none, none.

Cons

I was hired into Schneider as an Engineering Tech IV after being unemployed for 2-1/2 years. Despite the fact that I am a degreed ME with 25+ years of design and development experience all I did was solder, strip wire, crimp terminals, and turn screws. No effort was made on my behalf to find a more appropriate position. Applications to higher level positions were either ignored or passed over. Consequently I ended up hating my job, the people around me, and the management. I gladly left shaking the dust of SE from my shoes.

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
