Pros

The people in the trenches doing the work to make the company profitable. Flexible hours depending on manager in each department

Cons

This once transparent company has become a divide and hide organization since its sales and margins began to slump. The business model of purchasing companies to increase the organic sales growth has proven to be nothing more than a Wall Street shell game. WESCO put in Mandatory and Voluntary unpaid leaves, eliminates positions within the company as quietly as possible to keep employees uninformed that layoffs are happening, while emails for the CEO state that the company is in great financial shape. The cuts currently being made are penny wise while dollar foolish and will catch up with the company. This shortsightedness may elevate some of the pressure for a poor quarter, but it is not going to fix the big issue at hand.

Pros

Strategic partnerships across internal departments; access to leverage multiple partners, SME, tools, resources to win opportunities; education/training opportunities are expansive and accessible. Great work culture!

Cons

So big, we get in our own way; escalating to problem-solve is extremely laborious and tedious to get standardized unified KPIs for consistency/expectations. Terrible onboarding for new hires; lowers morale from the beginning-on your own to figure it out if you do not have an organized, attention-to-detail manager-too long to help have experienced talent be turn-key since the applications/CRMs are extremely outdated; finding who you need to get an answer is cumbersome; if you do not know people, you will take that much longer to find the right internal partner to assist with basic tasks.
