Tense Work Enviornment with False Advancement Expectations
Sales (Former Employee) – Waukesha, WI – January 14, 2019
For the duration that I was employed at Anixter I found it to be very tense and uninviting. Not only was I given false expectations regarding my role but also advancement opportunities. A greater percentage of the employees were very unprofessional. I would not recommend a carrier with this company.
Pros
Never bored; always learning something new
Cons
unprofessional; overreactive employees;
Productive, fast pace enviornment

Contractor Specialist (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – January 14, 2019
This was definitely a good ole boys club and treated women with disrespect. Leadership was rude and focused solely on the bottom line. Hostile working environment for anyone who spoke out.
was a very good place to work

Productive and fun place to work at
Credit/Collection Associate (Former Employee) – Corinth, TX – December 5, 2018
The manager was very nice and she understood that sometimes we need 'ice breaker' to release stress from our busy work. She's an awesome person and Anixter, Inc was a good company to work for
Anixter is great
Forklift picker (Former Employee) – Illinois – November 28, 2018
Anixter International is a company based in Glenview, Illinois, United States and founded in 1957. The company supplies communications and security products and electrical and electronic wire and cable
Pros
Free lunch
It's been a long time since I worked there.
Inside Account Manager (Former Employee) – Austin, TX – November 25, 2018
I'm surprised I need to give 150 characters on a company I haven't interacted with in over 10 years. I learned the bulk of my experience in Channel sales, sales management, vendor management while there. It's an excellent place to network, too.
Worst job ever
ANIXTER SALES (Former Employee) – Rocklin, CA – November 23, 2018
Only the sales people are responsible for the actions of the entire company. Nobody does their job in support , commissions were taken 4 months after I started . Backlog was never closed no matter how much you sold you would never hit commission plan. No accountability from any warehouse, PA S , They taxed you at 50% on commission if you even closed your book of business for the month , which they internally sat on . Incredible amount of stress to deal with for little money.
Pros
Great people in sales, great medical and dental benefits
Cons
No one does their job
Its a ok place to work

Good Luck!
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.
