Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you are experiencing a professional and friendly work environment, strong work-life balance and are getting the opportunity to observe the moving parts of the distribution industry with our organization. It sounds like there may be a disconnect on the work capacity during the program that we need to address, so we appreciate you sharing. We suggest using downtime to explore our product offerings, shadow associates in positions you might be interested in at the end of your program and simply ask your supervisor what more you can be doing to truly maximize your benefits from participating in the Sales and Operations Development Program.

Pros

They invest a lot in their employees; they recognize and want you to continue learning whether through their trainings or from an outside source. I've also had a mentor since I started and he has been a huge help thus far. Also, I was hired into their Sales and Operations Trainee Program right after I graduated college. Which is a year long trainee program where I am getting to work in all aspects of the business and see the industry, which has been an amazing learning experience. The fact that they are training me for an entire year proves the fact that they invest greatly in their employees and care about the succession of the company.

Cons

I haven't experienced any yet.

Pros

Great starting position, you get to experience several different departments and functions during the rotations. After the program they let you decide what OpCo and what position you think will be the best fit for you. You can tell Sonepar cares about their new employees by the way they invest in them. We're sent on residency trips to see how other OpCos operate as well as to attend training sessions.

Cons

Haven't experienced any so far.
