Pros

WESCO recognizes their strengths and weaknesses, and is working to improve upon both. The company is well established, with a distinguished reputation within the industries they serve. They are the largest electrical distributor in the country, and they have the assets (people and capital) to take a more powerful position. The leadership understands that their people are the backbone of the company, and treat them well to maintain high morale. All levels of management are willing to give up their time to talk to you. WESCO is exploring new markets, and is offering their people the opportunity to pursue personal interests that fit into a plan that allows the person and the company to grow. If you have a business case for a position that does not currently exist, WESCO is willing to create that position. The benefits (matching 401k, health, dental, vision) are great. There is a recent push to integrate a younger workforce into an older culture. This means fresh ideas are welcome and encouraged.

Cons

There is a well established workforce that is currently engrained in leadership roles. This presents a current downside, but a tremendous upside in the future.

Pros

Close to the downtown area (located in Station Square). Nice to walk across the bridge.Gradually moving into high tech whereas they was very antiquated. Nice to be a part of that progression.

Cons

Sharing of work information was very lacking. I believe it to be the economy, everyone seemed insecure of their position.
