WESCO International reviews

Under-staffed, low pay, zero recognition for a job well done, management does not understand the employee's job or responsibilties and just 'passes down orders', The workers literally work themselves to death at this company and have little opportunity to advance. Benefits are poor at best (expensive and no vision coverage). Vacation time is also severely lacking compared to other companies. There is no cash bonus plan unless you are in management, however, there is a discretionary (and small) bonus your 401K if the company does well - this really means nothing unless you are already vested (after 5 years). There are also no formal reviews or regular cost-of-living (let alone merit) increases.

Management, immediate and senior, does not have any idea what hoops employees must jump through to accomplish the tasks assigned. Also, employees do not hear anything from management EVER unless something has been done wrong. All feedback in other words is negative which is not very conducive toward an enjoyable working environment. The way WESCO distributes the cost of health insurance is terrible. The cost to an employee is approximately 3% of their pre-tax salary. This means an employee earning $50k per year pays around $62.50 per paycheck, while an employee who earns $25k per year only pays $31.25. This holds true even if the employee earning more NEVER uses that insurance. This amounts to subsidizing the cost of health insurance of employees earning less and "taxing" those who earn more. Also, it is simply not right to hire or promote an employee based simply upon their alma matter. Hiring and promotions should be based upon merit, work experience, and dedication, not the school they received their diploma from. Unfortunantly, this seems to happen more often than not in this company. While there is much more I could say here, I prefer to say it in the advice I would provide to senior management.
