Pros

Schneider Electric has a great group of people--several being there for a long time. They look to promote from within and mostly keep and support employees that work hard. If the manager is supportive, they will allow for flexible work arrangements--including part-time situations.

Cons

Over the years (I worked there for 15 years), the leadership has become less communicative and lacking in direction. As the industry became more competitive, Square D/Schneider Electric has changed strategies continually to try to adjust--mostly without success. Several of the top management were rude and abrasive in their demeanor. They also tend to take away small benefits to try to cut costs (like coffee!). Marketing is constantly in flux, and doesn't often get respect from management and other areas of the company.

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
