Pros

Salary was great plus bonus Medical benefits were great as well

Cons

No diversity in executive level and middle management Expectation is "do as I say, not as I do" Managers are not trained to retain employees Knowledgeable employees are used for projects then discarded and abandoned after projects end Years of employment within the company supersedes education and experience when hiring No career growth for mid level employees Company objectives change every 6 months; unstable Reactive rather than proactive mindset

Pros

The only good things about pelco are the engineering teams. Lots of talented people but due to poor management their talents are being wasted/taken for granted. Sad to see their jobs get outsourced.

Cons

Too many cons to count after Schneider acquired pelco. The executives they put in charge of pelco namely herve fages are utterly worthless. There were tons of layoffs and that little man always said he saw layoffs as a personal failure. When will he fall on his sword for constant failure? He should be fired and deported. I wouldn't trust him with a dirty napkin. Most, not all, of management are also worthless there, their constant failures result in longtime employees getting laid off or leaving due to no confidence. The way things look now pelco won't be around in the next couple of years thanks to Schneider and their idiots they placed at pelco. They deserve to go fade into oblivion and good riddance to them!
