Pros
Rexel offers room to grow and advance within the company. Decently affordable health insurance. Monday - Friday work week.
Cons
Unfortunately Rexel suffers from what a lot of large corporations suffer from and that is disconnect with their employees. You start to realize you are simply a number on a page. The wage inequality between positions is insulting. For some reason the electrical product supply industry in general has had an issue with compensating counter/inside sales reps vs other positions and Rexel is no different. For what a counter/inside sales rep has to know to proficiently do their job is incredible. They have to know about everything we sell plus be the face of the company. You can not bring someone in off the streets and expect them to do this job without any prior knowledge. This takes years to acquire. What's frustrating is this wage inequality extends itself to same positions within the same locations. Doesn't matter how much industry experience or what your metrics are, once you are brought on at a certain wage expect standard cost of living increases regardless of your performance. If a counterpart is making 15-20% more than you for no reason, that does not matter in managements eyes and they would rather see you go elsewhere than pay a fair salary. Your are expendable.
