Thank you for your review. We’re pleased to hear you are happy with the corporate culture and have seen our efforts in philanthropic initiatives. Due to the decline in the oil and gas industry in 2016, we did not offer merit increases to select business units, but we did pay out bonuses to bonus eligible associates based on company and personal performance. Recently, we put forth merit increases to all Sonepar Management Group associates. We continually communicate internal job opportunities on our job posting board, Career Connections, and offer training in many areas for associates to expand their skillset. If you would like to discuss your opportunities for growth within the company, we encourage you to reach out to your manager or your HR leader, Shawna Pierro.

Pros

I've heard it said, "the people make the job." This could not be more true, and the people are the reason I love working at Sonepar USA. I work in an environment where my colleagues truly believe in their company and care about the work they do. I get excellent support from my manager, which helps me do my job very effectively. I'm constantly getting to do new things, so I rarely get bored. The company itself is growing and growing and growing. And best of all, I get to live in the best city on earth, Charleston, SC. + People + Culture & values + Great support from management + Exciting projects and opportunities + Company is constantly growing + Charleston, SC

Cons

The only negative I can think of is that certain roles may not have any room for a promotion. Although the company is growing, I can where some positions may not have much career development potential beyond a certain point. However, this is true at many companies.
