Business Outlook

Pros

The MIS is generally very in depth and the bids andctenders team are very professional

Cons

Unfortunately there are far too many cons now. The business constantly makes cuts which affects service levels and the ability to develop new sales. This continuous cycle will lead to the downfall of Rexel in the UK. Our branch network is crumbling and our competitors are pulling away. There are far too many senior managers who try to bully and scare people rather than encourage. This is why good people leave, nobody wants to work for idiots with a management style from the 1980s. Many people have told HR in exit interviews of the issues they experience but nothing was done.

Pros

Colleagues are good fun. We don't work on Saturdays so it's just a Monday to Friday job, which is handy in wholesale.

Cons

Senior Management are utterly void of any common sense and have no interest in the 'normal employee'. Cuts, cuts more cuts. Then some restructuring and the worlds worst I.T. System make for a shambles most days!

Pros

Great co-workers who work hard because they care about customers.

Cons

Management are bullies. Not customer focused, just care about doing it cheaply. Industry is in a tailspin and Rexel is not properly planning. Too many job cuts. Employee leaving left and right to go to competition. Never hear from the CEO. Hardly see the general manager. Upper Management does not partake in inventory counts - WHY?!
