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

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

Global company with more opportunity outside of just one location; excellent instructor-led classes and benefits

Cons

Senior management leadership is a joke; very bureaucratic to the detriment of the company, no central information technology linking all their conglomerates or even within their major brands, working folks to the point of developed medical conditions because of scrimping on labor costs and having folks do quadruple the work; running off excellent employees and keeping the ones that really need to go
