Pros

Good teamwork within the help desk team. Work completes when your shift ends.

Cons

Constant hiring freezes with zero!! disregard taking on extremely massive projects and new acquisitions leading to sometimes triple if not even more work per employee on the team. Multiple false promises of promotions over time of employment.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that you felt the workload on your team was not sustainable. We’re proud to be a growing company and we aim to staff appropriately for the work at hand. If a team is feeling overwhelmed, we encourage associates to have candid conversations with their managers and HR Business Partners to make sure leadership is aware of, and can address, any issues around workload. We also strive to provide a clear career path and development opportunities for associates. To do so, we’re expanding our internal management training programs and our learning and development offering. We’re also standardizing processes around annual reviews and goal setting. It’s very important to us that associates have the support needed to develop their careers and a pathway to achieve their goals.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. However, your experience is concerning to us as we want all employees to feel that they are treated fairly and have equal opportunities within the organization. I strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner or Director to provide further details regarding your experience. Sonepar USA looks to hire from within whenever possible and we continuously communicate our internal job opportunities to all associates. Sonepar also gives all employees access to Sonepeople Learning, our learning management system where they can access a variety of different courses geared towards career development. We want nothing more than to see our employees be successful and grow in their careers. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you all the best.
