Pros

Flexible working hours. Flex dollar is nice. Project is interesting and challenging.

Cons

Chaotic management leads to frequent “change”, normally towards bad side. Technical opinions are not valued, local management focus on politics instead of project delivery. Punishment given to employees who dare speak real progress of project. Management hide progress of project from upper management. Overall horrible experience.

Pros

If you have powerful backing from mgt, then dont have to work, just go poke into other countries and channels and score point will do. Very good life and good pay as well. Btw, everyday just use standard scarcastic and threatening language to rule and command people will do. Remember, must have backing then can live like a ruler everyday.

Cons

If you dont have backing, be prepared to do all the dirty work, trial and error manual work, change roles when they find you like to suggest otherwise etc. And make you redundant via many ways using powerful mgt direction somehow or reorganisation. Of course, you may ask, there are still people who can work very long in company, the answer is because they have strong backing from mgt. The humans have all left, these people who are still there are the real negative force.

We are disappointed to hear you have had a negative experience. Unfortunately, we are having a hard time identifying your location as we do not have a facility near Asia, TX. In situations where employees are unsatisfied with their manager, we recommend going straight to human resources partner that you feel comfortable speaking to. At Schneider Electric, being open is one of our core values. We encourage transparency and most importantly ethical behavior from everyone, everywhere. We have a system in place that encourages you to speak up, without repercussions, to your manager, human resources or other internal functions such as finance or legal. If any employee wants to escalate a concern further we encourage them to use our R&ED (Ethics) Line - which is a 100% confidential, 3rd party neutral reporting system. All reports are investigated and corrective actions are implemented. We expect all of our employees, regardless of level in the organization, to demonstrate ethical leadership behaviors every day. This is our commitment and critical element to our culture.

Pros

Decent Pay, Good Benefits and people although there is a mass exodus of good employees.

Cons

After 12 very successful years at Square D resigned because of the direction the company is going. Typical day is spent resolving issues with either production or scheduling and listening to customer complaints. Used to love my job and was highly motivated to excel. Recent changes to Management (Services Division over the last 6 months) have created an extremely toxic work environment which is causing a mass exodus of employees. Seems like people speak out of the sides of their mouths to cover themselves in a failing system. After 12 years of exceeding Sales Targets - Bonus Program modified to take away dollars from the high achievers and award lackluster performance. Promises broken and a lack of ethics dominate the work environment.

Thank you for 12 years of service and for your candid review. At Schneider Electric, we pride ourselves on being an ethical company of high integrity. We are in the midst of implementing a significant system upgrade with the intent of making us an even more customer-centric and efficient organization. However, as with any significant transformation, we are working through some near-term operational issues that are being actively addressed. We’re revising our sales incentive plan to drive and build a high-performance culture, which is foundational to our compensation philosophy. Again, thank you for your review. With feedback like yours, we can continue to improve both our customer and employee experience.
