Pros

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sonepar and love the collaborative nature of the teams. I feel like my career goals are valued by management and that they encourage growth in my role.

Cons

The maternity leave policy is not ideal. It makes it hard to plan for a family when you get little time off compared to other comparably large companies, reduced pay during leave, and must rely on PTO/sick leave to get extended time off. I would hope that a company that values its female employees will consider this more in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear that you have enjoyed working in a collaborative environment and feel valued by the management team. We also appreciate your comments regarding our parental leave policy and are disappointed that it did not meet your expectations. We strive to offer benefits that reflect the importance of planning and caring for a family. In fact, we recently expanded our childbearing and bonding leave benefits and will continue to look for ways to give our associates the flexibility and support they need as their families grow. Thank you again for sharing your feedback.

Pros

Great, unappreciated co-workers! Great benefits. Decent salary.

Cons

Awful, management doesn't begin to cover it! Racist, prejudiced, and petty! Worst management of any company I have ever worked for! They pick their favorites and that is that - if you aren't one of the few chosen ones, you are screwed. HR backs up management, which is a crime!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that you felt it was not a supportive work environment for you. We are committed to providing a workplace where every associate feels valued, respected, and free to bring their whole self to work. Our Code of Conduct and Respectful Workplace Policies explicitly prohibit discrimination based on race, national origin, gender identity or expression, and other classes protected by law, and we take any indication of this kind of behavior seriously. We strongly encourage anyone in the company who feels they have seen or experienced discrimination to inform their HR team or use our anonymous whistleblowing platform. To strengthen a culture of inclusion and belonging at Sonepar, all managers complete training on unconscious bias and inclusion. Our Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Action (IDEA) Council of senior leaders and eight grassroots-led employee resource groups work every day to promote a respectful and supportive work environment. It’s also important to us to equip managers with the training they need to foster a workplace where everyone can be successful. All new managers are required to complete the Sonepar iManage Program, and this year Sonepar is rolling out a new required training for managers called Managing Emotional Health and Employee Wellbeing, as well as Manager Development Guides that cover topics such as business & financial acumen, cultural awareness, diversity & inclusion, and emotional intelligence. Your feedback is valued and has been shared with the leadership team. We will continue to evaluate ways to ensure a positive experience for all our associates.
