Schneider Electric reviews

Workload is unrealistic and making us all physically and mentally sick - not enough staff for volume of work. NOC planners are burnt out. Revolving door of planners in National Operations Centre more so than Australian Prime Ministers - yet HR done nothing and is useless. Planners do everything - finance, supply chain and accounts - but not compensated for it. No paid overtime but planners always working past their hours and weekends just to keep up. Computer systems all broken. Same issues brought up every week in meetings but nothing gets done. Any feedback is treated as "negative" and ignored by management. Many people are bullied out of role for speaking up. Spend all our time working with operations supervisors yet no feedback sought from them in performance reviews, just the NOC management who have no clue how to plan themselves. Too many unnecessary middle managers - example national accounts planner but gives all the work to state planners to schedule anyway.New ways of working pushed on us by management without consultation and without testing - ends up being disaster and increases workload unnecessarily. Unrealistic expectations and no matter how you perform no opportunity in Schneider for planners. No recognition of planners whatsoever in customer 10/10s, only technicians get recognised. Managers take all the credit for successes when planners do all the hard work. I never receive step ups even though I'm high performer - all the managers do is give step ups to each other, quite sad and desperate. All the stuff about inclusivity, empowerment and safety first is all PR, nothing else.

Worst work culture and management group. Too much of micromanagement even at the senior level. Bad politics, creates unnecessary pressure for no reasons. Very bossy attitude, no trust and respect and no brains in management. Outdated technologies No respect and encouragement for female employees. No hikes, no lateral movements, No open door policy Pathetic system and no liberal thinking. Overall, place where people are expected to work without recognition and motivation. No rewards as well! Too much of loose talks and gossips in the management surprisingly. Hard to get promotion or hikes as they follow variable performance bonus
