Pros

Good salary. Decent benefits. That's about it.

Cons

I have seen many of my coworkers marched out of the building due to "budget constraints" yet Schneider still manages to buy other companies left and right. In fact, they buy so many in such a short time that we struggle to integrate them all. Employees are overworked due to lack of budget and lack of sufficient staff. There is a misconception at Schneider that the more overburdened the process, the better quality of the results. This just contributes to employees being overworked.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
