Pros

Square D historically has the very best best brand recognition in the industry. some product lines are still good quality. The people are great people and try to be as helpful as possible, both internally and externally.

Cons

Company is forgetting the level of service that got Square D to be recognized as the industry leader. Arrogance from management that customers will simple accept reduced service levels AND continue to pay a premium for the product. Too much of a blind eye toward poor middle managers. Resource constraints make it hard for front line employees to provide good service to customers. This creates a lot of stress because you know what needs to be done and you still can not get it done.

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
