Pros

-Work Life balance was okay -Friendly people in the US

Cons

Where do I start - This is probably the worst I’ve seen in a while - Leadership is completely oblivious to the direction in which they are wanting to take this company. Every week the direction changed, with no explanation or clear objective as to what they are trying to achieve. -“Managers” were hired/promoted into positions that they were under- qualified for. Contrary to Rexel’s belief, management does need to know how to manage people before they get into these positions. -I’ve questioned how some of these “technical” people were able to keep and maintain a job here. Completely incompetent in the space and position they were hired in. If it were just one person I would omit this, but this was the case across departments. Even worse, the egos of these people are through the roof, so good luck with convincing them there’s better ways to handle things. -The environment is toxic. I’ve been on many internal phone calls that have turned into yelling matches by the end of the meeting. It was beyond uncomfortable -Archaic thought process, business model and strategy. The company is so far behind, that sooner than later they will have to shut the doors. Every decision that is made is to appease to leadership, not the customers so they are losing customers at a rapid pace. -Employee Moral was at an all time low and so was retention. People looked like they were depressed everyday. And the turnover rate is crazy high! But no one from leadership cares -The HR department is a nightmare. Poor onboarding process, attitudes were through the roof if you asked a simple question. Once you accept the position, you can forget about them caring, they are just there to collect a paycheck. I can keep going but I’ll end with this, believe the reviews because I didn’t and now I’m wishing I had. RUN!!!

Pros

Decent company benefits and strong talent at the branch and sales level.

Cons

Gulf regional leadership is not effectively supporting the revenue-producing teams closest to the customer. What often presents as process, training, or accountability instead creates confusion, frustration, and reporting burden for branches and salespeople. When metrics become the focus instead of the support system, they inundate the field with activity, hinder execution, and create friction instead of progress. The company has talented salespeople, branch leaders, and field operators who understand the customers, markets, systems, and daily operating reality, but too many are underutilized while gaps are protected or explained away. That is how performance declines quietly: strong employees disengage, honest feedback gets filtered, and the company starts mistaking activity for execution. This is not a branch-level talent problem; it is a Gulf regional execution problem.
