Pros

I honestly cannot think of one for this company.

Cons

They do not care about their employees. They keep reducing benefit values to employees while also making employees pay a higher portion of their "benefits" which decreases the value of their paychecks. People are treated well or bad depending on their "relationships" inside the company and which side of the financial standing they come from. This is a very snobbish company. Their main interest now are college students graduating this year so they can replace employees with them; next year they will be looking at the next graduating classes to replace employees with. Hiring right out of college means lower pay and experience is not a "must" for the company. They claim they treat employees well but the amount of recent turn overs make you question those words.

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to post a review. I’m sorry to hear you have been not been satisfied with our organization. At Sonepar USA we greatly value our employees and our culture. The health and well-being of our associates are also extremely important to us. We strive to provide comprehensive, high-quality, yet diverse benefits packages to provide the right fit for each employee’s needs. Although there have been slight medical premium increases, the national average has been an 8% increase, and Sonepar has kept it far below that with an average of 4.5%. We have not had dental or vision increases in 4 years. Additionally, we have added Vitality, a robust wellness program, that gives associates the opportunity to earn points that can be used for gift cards, among other things. We recruit recent college graduates to develop and bring new talent into our industry, with the intent for them to learn from our current employees. We are faced with the upcoming gap of a retiring workforce who hold a wealth of knowledge, and therefore are bringing new talent in not to replace, but to learn from them.

Pros

Excellent team with strong collaboration. Immense support for skill development, including training, certifications, and mentorship. A great place to build your cybersecurity career.

Cons

Pay raises tend to be small and can stagnate after a few years — compensation often falls behind market rates.
