Pros

The company is made up of some really great people. Sonepar does a great job of hiring talented people who work extremely hard while still managing to have some fun. The company has achieved steady growth for many years and seems to be positioned for continued success. Leadership seems to adapt to market conditions as well as customer needs quickly. People seem to genuinely like working for Sonepar. Management can be demanding but for those who take on challenges and have a whatever it takes attitude are typically rewarded for their efforts.

Cons

The company tends to be a little behind the times. The technology, or lack thereof, tends to make things arduous. Reporting tends to be a very manual process and the information tends to be often times inaccurate or spread across multiple systems that do not interact together. Also, some management seems to be a little behind the times when it comes to adjusting to the needs of the modern workforce. Every company has its challenges and Sonepar USA certainly has its share. However, overall it has been a truly great place to work for the several years I've been a part of the organization.

Pros

Sonepar USA does everything in their power to give you the tools to succeed and grow in the workplace. Whether it is manufacturer trainings, in-house trainings, leadership development, and growth, Sonepar will provides you with all these opportunities. Also, everyone I have had the pleasure to work with has been a resource. Our employees love what they are doing and they love to share their knowledge with you. Best of all, no one is intimidated by your potential and your co-workers are excited to see you develop within such a growing company. There are also chances to travel within your local area and in many cases nationally to different product trainings. This is a great time for someone young to enter the business because the industry is constantly evolving with the never-ending advances in technology. The younger generation has grown up with this technology and can be expertise to the leaders in the company. This helps increase your chances for growth personally and monetarily. Lastly, this is a family company and they treat you as such. I never wake up thinking that I have to go to work, I am happy to.

Cons

I can't think of any cons that regularly happen
