Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – November 11, 2018
You are fortunate if you don’t become the subject of a Federal Government investigation. Google “Anixter” and “Department of Justice”. There was always sufficient “Incentives” paid to win contracts.
Pros
Plenty of bribe money
Cons
Federal Prison
Good place to work
Sales (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – October 14, 2018
Overall good place to work but opportunities for advancement outside of the corporate office are limited. The compensation is below average compared to other companies of this size. The company is top heavy and the leadership team is not diverse.
Nice place to work
Financial Analyst/Bonus Analyst (Former Employee) – Glenview, IL – September 9, 2018
Anixter, Inc is a large company. The benefits are OK. There are opportunities to grow within the company. Anixter prefer to promote within rather than hiring from outside
Nice, comfortable, and stimulating work environment
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Glenview, IL – August 24, 2018
The people at Anixter are great. The management is great to work with. The assignments I got were enriching, but I was always comfortable that I could find help if needed.
Supportive management and advancement opportunities
Account Executive / Product Specialist (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – August 23, 2018
Good place to work, team atmosphere and good benefits. Managers do not micromanage their employees. Work was flexible and there weren't issues with taking time off.
Anixter isnt' what is used to be
IS Procurement Buyer (Current Employee) – Glenview, IL – August 16, 2018
Anixter is a mom and pop culture to a corporatized culture. Who you work for makes a big difference, but no job is secure that an extra buck can be made by outsourcing. Who you work for makes a difference as far as the day-to-day experience, but the focus is more on chasing money than quality of living.
In the main headquarters, money used to be spent on summer party and a holiday party. That's been pared down to a holiday meal served by the cafeteria staff.

Not a good company to work for.
Inside Sales - Industrial, Commercial, OEM (Former Employee) – Jersey Village, TX – August 7, 2018
Cold calls & sent e-mails daily to convince electrical contractors to sign on with Anixter.
No help from management to advance your career. Management says one thing & does another. Unreachable deadlines & quotas for the inside salesman. Good Medical Insurance. Fellow employees were easy to get along with.

Cons
management is not in tune with the market
