Pros

* A number of very loyal employees high tenured employees (this number is dwindling as they are being forced out), some strong mid-level leaders that care about their employees and the business. * Potential growth opportunity - Current leaders are leaving the company providing opportunities for internal growth. Caution: Trend is towards filling positions externally or not at all. * Good benefit package.

Cons

* Business continually experiences irresponsible change, negative impact to the field. * Business sales continues to contract each year resulting continual layoffs. Workload increases to unbearable levels for those that are left. * Work-life Balance is non-existent. Stress levels are ridiculously high. * Salary increases are non-existent. Negotiate high if you decide to accept a position with Rexel. * Bonuses are rarely paid fairly. * HR is incompetent. The company culture is suffering as a result. * Operations is confused. Letting metrics run employees to poor customer service. * Sales are not growing, no focus on natural growth. Beginning to contract as a result. Acquisitions won't cover this failure forever. * High turnover - Best employees are leaving as fast as they can. Recruiting unable to hire qualified talent effectively causing a spiral effect in poor leadership.

Pros

A well established multi-continental company.

Cons

It's a giant company. They do a pretty good job of disguising that and it's been a great experience.
