Pros

-Work Life balance was okay -Friendly people in the US

Cons

Where do I start - This is probably the worst I’ve seen in a while - Leadership is completely oblivious to the direction in which they are wanting to take this company. Every week the direction changed, with no explanation or clear objective as to what they are trying to achieve. -“Managers” were hired/promoted into positions that they were under- qualified for. Contrary to Rexel’s belief, management does need to know how to manage people before they get into these positions. -I’ve questioned how some of these “technical” people were able to keep and maintain a job here. Completely incompetent in the space and position they were hired in. If it were just one person I would omit this, but this was the case across departments. Even worse, the egos of these people are through the roof, so good luck with convincing them there’s better ways to handle things. -The environment is toxic. I’ve been on many internal phone calls that have turned into yelling matches by the end of the meeting. It was beyond uncomfortable -Archaic thought process, business model and strategy. The company is so far behind, that sooner than later they will have to shut the doors. Every decision that is made is to appease to leadership, not the customers so they are losing customers at a rapid pace. -Employee Moral was at an all time low and so was retention. People looked like they were depressed everyday. And the turnover rate is crazy high! But no one from leadership cares -The HR department is a nightmare. Poor onboarding process, attitudes were through the roof if you asked a simple question. Once you accept the position, you can forget about them caring, they are just there to collect a paycheck. I can keep going but I’ll end with this, believe the reviews because I didn’t and now I’m wishing I had. RUN!!!

Pros

Great pay...very competitive for the industry...great long term potential...very stable company

Cons

Some of the decisions by upper management has run off a lot of great employees. People are put into positions based on relationships and not experience, skill or education.

Mediocre Business: Business is in Trouble

Pros

* A number of very loyal employees high tenured employees (this number is dwindling as they are being forced out), some strong mid-level leaders that care about their employees and the business. * Potential growth opportunity - Current leaders are leaving the company providing opportunities for internal growth. Caution: Trend is towards filling positions externally or not at all. * Good benefit package.

Cons

* Business continually experiences irresponsible change, negative impact to the field. * Business sales continues to contract each year resulting continual layoffs. Workload increases to unbearable levels for those that are left. * Work-life Balance is non-existent. Stress levels are ridiculously high. * Salary increases are non-existent. Negotiate high if you decide to accept a position with Rexel. * Bonuses are rarely paid fairly. * HR is incompetent. The company culture is suffering as a result. * Operations is confused. Letting metrics run employees to poor customer service. * Sales are not growing, no focus on natural growth. Beginning to contract as a result. Acquisitions won't cover this failure forever. * High turnover - Best employees are leaving as fast as they can. Recruiting unable to hire qualified talent effectively causing a spiral effect in poor leadership.
