Pros

Benefits. Other BUs are open to collaboration if you are persistent in your outreach and bring something to the table. A lot of great people work at Schneider. Good place to start out a career for a year (2 years max) to get hands-on experience. After that, move externally for career growth, and market-rate pay - moving internally will not result in pay raises more than 2-5%.

Cons

No employment contract was ever provided, only an offer letter. Compensation is far below market. Commission structure and payouts are altered at will to the benefit of the company. Culture is very much determined by the team management - meaning if you are unlucky enough to land with a toxic manager(s), your life will be made a living hell, your commissions reduced at will or withheld entirely, and any attempt to transfer to another team or business unit will be undermined. HR is zero help. No work-life balance. High performers are not valued and are seen as a threat by some in key positions.

Pros

6% 401K match, no vesting period

Cons

This used to be a people-focused, high values company with integrity. Today it is prioritizing short-term financial targets at the direct expense of the employees. The business is profitable, but leadership is demanding that’s it’s not profitable ENOUGH (for the rich people). Employees have become numbers on a spreadsheet. Over the past year, the shift has been especially noticeable in the U.S.: * Return-to-office mandate (2–3 days per week), including employees hired as remote. This includes Big Brother like badge tracking and monthly attendance reporting. * Only one month’s notice that unused PTO would no longer carry over. Use it or lose it. * Elimination of the employee recognition financial rewards program. * Layoffs every six months, creating ongoing uncertainty. * Incentives for long-tenure (old) employees to resign. If you’re considering joining, go in with realistic expectations. The company still has talented people and good products, but the employee experience is no longer what it was. Job security, flexibility, and employee goodwill no longer feel like priorities.
