Pros

Safety is the main concern for this company. You will have more than enough training to do your job safely. Schneider Electric is a global company with locations all over the globe.

Cons

Even with great performance reviews and being a top notch employee you will not see yearly raises. You will fear losing your job most of the time and watch great employees shown the door as jobs leave your country for cheaper wages. The customer will be the big losers as a great company SQUARE D is dissolved by Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric does not have any innovation or R&D they just buy up companies right and left.

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
