Obviously I could not even contain myself, as I already begun writing cons above. If you value PEACE of MIND, and SANITY please NEVER WORK FOR REXEL. In order to list as a former employer I had to put year 2013, but my horrible experience actually took place June 2014-September 2014 so it was very recent. Not only is the company structure absolutely horrendous, disorganized, and illogical, but the people you will be asked to work with are an absolutely joke and a nightmare. The branch is set up so their are two associates, a driver, and a "warehouse lead" on location. That is it. Everybody else higher is either located in Boston MA or in Texas. Their human resources department was located in Texas as well (how convienent I know). Anyway, my "warehouse lead" had worked with the other associate for 12 years at their previous job prior to being the first two guys hired at to start this branch of Rexel. Within two weeks of my hire, both guys became insanely and irrationally paranoid that I was there to "steal their job" and "sabatoge them". After that it all kept going further downhill faster and faster. I was physically threatened multiple times, verbally threatened a ton, overall treated like dirt, my email was broken in to, I was purposely put in situations to fail, purposely not trained and not informed. The "warehouse lead" would chastize and threaten me for being a little late, even though every morning he typically arrived between 930-10:00 am (start time was 7:30 am). I am also very proud to say I am 3 years sober, and on a couple occasions there was blatant drinking on the job in my presence. I was told "if you tell anybody about this I will end you" by the lead. Many days when they were paranoid, they would gang up on me and physically intimidate me in the office, slam the door, and get nose to nose to me, and scream in my face. this was unfortunately a regular occurance, and the lack of any sort of higher management or true supervisor on location made it an environment where all of this horrendous conduct could freely transpire. In the end I finally hit a wall, emailed the district manager with an immediate resignation (I had emailed him a few times about concerns previously, then he breached confidentiality and eluded them to the lead, making my life even worse) and got the heck out of there. I didn't even bother ever contacting HR or anybody, because I had 0 faith in this horrible company to do the right thing. Keep in mind I hung in their for over 3 months, which is a long enough stretch of time to get an idea of what the day to day life at a company is going to be. So PLEASE for YOUR OWN GOOD heed my advice and DO NOT WORK AT REXEL.
