Anixter Employer Reviews

Great company - great co-workers, casual environment with extensive high end travel and functions.

Anixter was a pretty good job that allowed me to learn a lot and advance pretty quickly. However they don't always give everyone such an opportunity and often an employee is let go before much if any effort was put into help making the employee successful. Management and supervisors rely on other employee's to train new hires and never really judge – more... bad performance on having a good trainer. So some unlucky people get poor training and just don't make the cut.

Over all though the place was pretty good to me while I worked there and I learned a lot about how a distribution center runs. I guess I was lucky. – less

A typical day at work for me is very busy, which is great. I learn a lot just from trial and error. Management is very positive and always there to assist and help when needed. Co workers are great, fun. The hardest part of my job is doing a query on payment that was accidentally posted before your'e done applying. Once query is done, you have to tic – more... and tie, The most enjoyable part of my job is applying cash, providing excellent customer service – less

DISCRIMINATION OCCURED

Product Managers are given autonomy and empowerment to manage and promote their product portfolios (relating to technical solutions for wire, cable, security, and data centers). Workplace culture is very dynamic and encourages interpersonal communication (no working out of the house and few conference calls). Glenview is corporate HQ for F500 company – more... with a professional, polished, driven, yet relaxed culture. Many career opportunities exist for advancement and are given based on experience and results, not tenure. The compensation is above average for a B2B Industrial organization. Only area of improvement might be more holidays. Healthcare benefits are good, but expensive. – less

Hard work. Job duties were same everyday not much room to learn anything else, although I did ask. Management was not very receptive and sometimes very rude.I had good relationships with my co-workers.The hardest part of the job was when there was down time.I love to stay busy.The most enjoyable part of the job was having fun while staying busy.

It's a good company to work for. I learned how to process merchandise and how to asseble merchandise. My typical day would be to process and assemble merchandise.

In my time at Anixter I was exposed to many different aspects of the business, which help tremendously in overall knowledge of the companies role in the sales channel. I began by helping with administrative work, but quickly began working with large accounts trying to win upcoming projects. Anixter, being an IT distributer, allowed you to work closely – more... with both the manufacturers and contracters, giving you much better perspective of the functionality of the products and services Anixter provided. – less

Anixter was a good place to work. They provided me with all of the tools needed to be successful.

On a typical day I personally receive 80+ telephone calls from sales persons throughout the entire United States. Calls from, help me place an order, to my material has been lost in transit, or wasn't delivered on time, to material was damaged in transit. At this point I contact the warehouse to inform them, call and inquire with the carrier about the – more... product being shipped.

Very fast paced/multitasking.

Company themselves is very good.

For being the national call center for the entire United States/Canada/Mexico, the call center is understaffed and the employees are spread too thin with other duties. – less

This is the worst company that I have ever worked for. They have no respect for there employees The supervisor demean you and there is harrasment from them.

Good company but not for advancement. Human resource works for the company not for the employees.

is a great Fortune 500 company. work with SCADA systems to fiber optics.

I would only work here to pad my resume. Not a long term employment opportunity if you're a real salesperson.

Mornings would usually come in and print off any lines that needed picking, and get straight to it. finding the locations and then picking, measuring/weighing the item, and then packing it and labeling. Some jobs used BIN systems which meant that their were many items going to the same place so a pallet would be used and boxes labelled to specific parts – more... of the delivery. Then in the afternoon, there might be some goods inward to locate and put away in the correct location. throughout the day deliveries would be being made and being picked up. sometimes having to sign for a delivery. If I had any questions about the locations of any items or anything like that I could quite easily ask any of my coworkers or management team. Everyone I worked with was very helpful and friendly towards me and hopefully they felt the same towards myself. – less
