Pros

If you are a corporate climber (in the worst sense of the term) this is the place for you. Tell your executive team how brilliant they are because deep down they believe you are too stupid if you're not legacy, their way is the best and only way. If you can do that, you're golden!

Cons

Constant change to hide or mask issues, promotions given to favorites, backstabbing to ascend, career development for the youth unless you are a chosen one, ideas and conversation that challenge thinking are frowned upon breeding mediocrity, if your salary gets too high -your head will be on the chopping block to hit profitability without a second thought, unless you are in the protected circle.

Pros

tuition reimbursement. its a job

Cons

To sum it up for those of you who don't know. When Wiremold in west Hartford got taken over by Legrand they completely screwed all the employees. They came in right when the union contract was being renegotiated. This company came in and basically said to the employees sign this contract or we are moving to Mexico. Mind you, you have people who have invested there whole lives in this place. By signing this contract people took eight dollar cuts in pay, lost vacation time, personal days, and much more. I have seen this company slap made in America stickers on stuff that was made in mexico. Its a very shady company who has no respect for there workers. This is sad but true. People need to know this stuff. Im sick of seeing these companies who take no pride or integrity in their workers. These are the people making you your billions and you are giving absolutely nothing back. People who work here haven't got raises in over six years!!!!!!

Pros

Company is big enough to have money to tackle big projects and initiatives, like buying new companies. Pay is good and most units have a "profit sharing" bonus plan that covers all employees, so everyone is aligned, with the business financial objectives.

Cons

The financial numbers focus goes too far sometimes. Some management seems more impressed with politics and cheerleading than actual results.
