Everything is a "Fire"

Pros

You will learn to sink or swim - this is a pro in the sense you are learning a valuable skill in business. Your peers are smart, quick and very capable at their jobs so no worrying about the level of competency. The VP's and executives know what they are doing - it's a nice thing to be able to look up to your leaders.

Cons

When you are constantly working in "fire" mode, not only do you lose momentum and passion, but you also lose focus and the freedom of creativity. The company is a dinosaur in terms of where it should be in the B2B competitive space - you're having to teach what and why in addition to fire drills and deliverables. Employees don't feel that their work is valued or appreciated, and the turnover rate is high. Work / life balance is weak, and the stiff and old fashioned office culture is detrimental to your career contentment.

Lack of leadership and strategy

Pros

There are pockets of good people there but most of them are leaving. In the past three months the CEO, two CFOs and multiple VP/Directors have left. The CEO and one of the CFOs left without having another position lined up.

Cons

There is a lack of strategy and everything is a fire drill. HR department is a joke. We have been having a mass exodus of upper management and there has not been any communication or effort to calm the workforce. There is very little confidence in most of the upper management team that is still there. Rexel Holdings USA is a holdings company for a French company and consists of multiple banners. Between the infighting between banners and the constant unrealistic expectations from Paris, the culture and atmosphere is pretty negative.
