My job is one of personal pride and success,because alot of my know-how is required to ensure a great product goes out to our customers.
Production Associate I (Current Employee), Hopkins, SC –
A day at work is almost as identical as the next,or even the week for that matter. This is all for a good matter,we are there for the amount of time to create a great product,which requires eyes,hands,and mind on task. Anything beyond that is looked upon as idle time. Now of course you have down time and lunch,and on these times our dining room serves – more...  great food to enjoy,while our in door weigh room has all the necessary equipment to enjoy a great work out. Those who love the outsides,there is a beautiful wildlife nature trail to take a stroll on. Being apart of the Schneider team,I've truly learned how to be apart of a family and team player. No one product goes out without high quality inspection and we all play a role in that! Since the economy had to take a down-size in work,so did we. Human Resource,before that time was our mediator between us(the production associate) and Management. That allowed our department managers and floor managers more time one on one with their supervisors,which in turn us. Now that Human Resource has tooken a huge chunk out of the normal way of what was theirs of business,we still have access to our managers but very limited. My co-workers are like my own famiy,love'em one day and can't stand them the next,however we work well because in us we all have a since of pride for what we do. The work is never too difficult for me,because I have no supervisor standing over me to make sure I'm doing work. And this is because I believe that when they hired me,they knew this much about me,that is,I take responsibility of my own duties because I have much pride in a company that takes pride in themselves. – less

Overall good experience
Inside Sales Representative (Current Employee), West Kingston, RI –
Good company to work for if you are interested in building a career in IT and/or sales. Excellent work/life balance. Would only advise that they talk about cross-business unit mobility, but from what I have seen it is rare.

Excellent place to work!
Panel Assembly/ Kitter/ Breakers (Former Employee), Hopkins, SC –
Pros: long breaks
Cons: lots of over time
I really enjoyed working here. My co workers were very friendly and management really cared about safety and our well being. The hardest part of the job was the over time. There were times that I worked 10 - 11 hour days for weeks, but they gave us enough time for breaks and if you need a personal break you were allowed to have one within reason. The – more...  most enjoyable part of the job was how friendly everyone was. It seemed that I was a part of a family. – less

Not such a great place for aspiring engineers
Technical Support Engineer I (Former Employee), West Kingston, RI –
Pros: coworkers, diversity, global, management
Cons: limited advancement potential on technical side, benefits, compensation, 90's technology, disorganization
Schneider Electric provides a professional development program which consists of a technical path and a sales path. The technical side leads to many dead ends. Unless you want to remain a tech support representative for the rest of your career with Schneider, I would suggest looking elsewhere. However, the sales side of the professional development – more...  program seems to work great for driven individuals who are eager to make an impact.

This company doesn't like letting employees stagnate for long. It isn't uncommon to see someone change positions two times a year. Although, it is important to keep in mind these position changes rarely include a pay increase and yearly merit increases have been "frozen" for the past two years. If you are looking to make a significant amount of money, this is not the place for you. – less

They don't value their employees
Senior Business Analyst (Former Employee), Palatine, IL –
I worked for Schneider for 7 years, only to be let go and have my job eliminated. I continually had high scores on performance appraisals, and was considered a valued employee. The company right now, even though it is making a profit, is continually going through reductions in force. It is a French owned company, and many jobs in the US are being shipped – more...  to Mexico, or other new economies, as the wage is cheaper. Overall US employee morale is quite low, and most employees are extremely overworked. – less

enjoyed working there and always learned something new everyday
Parts Puller (Former Employee), Seneca, SC –
Pros: great supervisors which treated each one fairly
Cons: break schedule
As a parts puller, I enjoyed working alone most of the time because the job required you to always be on the go and never stand in one spot very long at a time.
