Pros

Square D historically has the very best best brand recognition in the industry. some product lines are still good quality. The people are great people and try to be as helpful as possible, both internally and externally.

Cons

Company is forgetting the level of service that got Square D to be recognized as the industry leader. Arrogance from management that customers will simple accept reduced service levels AND continue to pay a premium for the product. Too much of a blind eye toward poor middle managers. Resource constraints make it hard for front line employees to provide good service to customers. This creates a lot of stress because you know what needs to be done and you still can not get it done.

Pros

Great people, meaningful work, and strong opportunities for professional growth. As a large global company, Schneider Electric offers extensive resources, exposure to diverse projects, and the flexibility to explore different teams and career paths across the organization.

Cons

Bureaucratic processes can make it difficult to move quickly. Some HR policies feel unnecessarily restrictive and are not always clearly communicated during the hiring process. Referral bonuses are forfeited if an employee leaves before the payout date, even if the referral was successfully hired. Limited office presence in major U.S. hubs such as New York and San Francisco, and few options for part-time or reduced-hour work arrangements.
