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.

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.

Pros

Many opportunities for personal growth, so long as you work with the system. The make a good product that you can be proud to sell, and they take care of their own after you put in the initial time. They are also quite an honest and down to earth company - everyone employed just wants to do the right thing. There aren't many rampaging egos.

Cons

The cronyism. The lack of a long term vision. The senior staff remain out of touch of the field due to a strict chain of command infrastructure. There is also a lack of courage to strive for greatness, and a lack of leadership in shaping strategies for the brand in the future. It feels like we live quarter to quarter and make knee jerk reactions monthly.
