      Pros

      I've been with the company for about 1.5 years and due to the economy we had the inevitable layoffs in December. Even though our plant was impacted several of the people that were on the list were actually reassigned to other positions instead of losing their jobs. They did a good job in trying to keep people around and I am grateful of that. I was able to keep my job and they were able to keep my knowledge.

      Cons

      The layoffs were a little bit scary and they did layoff people, but the impact wasn't as harsh as some thought. Training could be a little better.

      A good company to work for.

      Pros

      They have a very good reputation in the industry for quality products and they have a strong desire to meet customer satisfaction. Additionally, they put people in the right place to succeed. They have become very focused on giving their sales people the technology tools they need. Scheider Electric also gives you the ability to improve yourself with the internal classes that they offer. They also provide tuition re-imbursement if you choose to take classes outside of their organization. Since they are an international company, you have the ability to move to different areas. Their benefit package is fair and you have the ability to speak to the right people for any questions.

      Cons

      Their processes are cumbersome with both their distribution and employees. They sometimes react slow to the needs of their sales staff.

      Decent place to work, with some caveats. Has some great people, but be prepared to be confused at times.

      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.
