      Pros

      Rotational programs offers a great way to learn how the industry runs Great exposure to upper management within Operation Co and through out Sonepar Relaxed internal atmosphere Offers good amount of opportunity

      Cons

      Most Operation Co's are severely lagging behind in technology (ex. Microsoft Office 2007...) Elderly workforce... makes being sociable difficult as a young employee Goals of Training Program do not seem to be communicated well by Sonepar to OpCo's Final expectation of trainees is difficult to gauge, no real direction on where you're going post-program

      Thank you for your review. We value the associates who have grown their careers with us and we are also driven to recruit new talent, which is why our Sales and Operations Development program is so important to our organization. It has facilitated the development of emerging talent and benefits our succession planning as key associates near retirement over the next several years. I’m sorry to hear you feel the program has not been communicated well within your organization. I encourage you to reach out to our Director of Talent Acquisition, Pam Midden Conlin to discuss your concerns. Our trainees have a variety of options upon finishing the program, but primarily transition into outside sales or operations focused opportunities, with 83% moving into sales and 17% into operations. If you have concerns regarding next steps following the trainee program, please contact Kelly Brennan, Sales and Operations Program Leader. We are committed to helping guide our trainees in future endeavors.

      Pros

      Sonepar USA is a great company. They take growth and development very seriously and give employees the tools to be successful. I have been with the company almost a year and have been on countless training classes and schools to develop my knowledge in the industry as well as professional growth.

      Cons

      I have seen some disconnects that stem from a decentralized structure. Which can sometimes cause confusion or frustration. However the cons are small compared to the pros of the company structure.
