Pros

Innovative company that invest in new products every year. Great products with good design functions. A large number of products at your disposal.

Cons

Large number of products to remember. Doesn't provide the best training in understanding selling the products. Will usually train on features and benefits, but doesn't emphasize importance of products to the customer. Also, they don't discuss thoroughly the difference of products compared to competitors. No mentor program, and poor on board training. Poor communication from leadership and team members. Partial information are mostly given. Company had purchase a lot of different companies, and will continue to add more. All brands work individually, and no real accountability and unification between each brands. May look like one large company, but more like 6+ companies with no unified message or culture.

Benefits, some co-workers, free soda day, weekly pay, provided box cutter.

Cons

Excessive overtime. Overflowing with management but not enough floor staff to meet invoicing levels in receiving and shipping. Mismanagement led to plant closure.

Pros

Average pay for the industry with good benefits (company car, health ins, 401K matching, etc.)

Cons

Legrand was a initially a great place to work and I had planned to retire there. Unfortunately, It became increasing WOKE starting in 2017-18 with an aggressive DEI agenda by setting quotas for the percentages of women and minorities that needed to be in upper management for the coming years. Promotions and hiring became based on everything but-skill set, industry experience, merit, etc. Some Legrand companies suffered significantly financial loses because of these management decisions (Q-Motion & Solarfective) If you're female and or person of color-definitely apply. Don't waste your time if you are a white male over 45. Its sad how many dedicated long term employees were let go over the past 8-10 years.
