Pros

I love working for Sonepar. They truly care about their people and try to do what's right, even when it isn't easy.

Cons

If you are looking for a lot of out-of-the box thinkers, this job may not be for you. It can be pretty corporate at times, but they care about you.

We value all of our associates and are so glad to hear that our commitment to them is really shining through. We strive to be the best and we do it together. Our associates share initiative, knowledge, and advice, we learn from one another to get the best possible result.

Pros

Good benefits, ability to change jobs/locations.

Cons

Shared services are a disaster and the model is quickly becoming like every other large National player.

Pros

The positive working atmosphere here is SO refreshing! The team is incredibly supportive. Great people. Leadership is very approachable and open to your ideas. Pay is good, fantastic benefits (minus PTO). I know a lot of Charleston companies with toxic work environments, and this is really the opposite. I'm so happy to work here!

Cons

A little old school in some respects and hesitant to adopt change, but you can see that they're taking gradual steps to modernize. Seriously need more vacation time.
