Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback.
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
This company acknowledges that people are their greatest asset and invest significantly in them. There is an open door policy that enables you to feel comfortable bringing anything up from a new idea to an issue to the very top. You have a voice. The CEO's values are exhibited in every communication and personal interaction. There is career mobility, not just vertically but also laterally - if you want to learn more about a different area you are fully supported. Your vote counts here. The benefits are exceptional.
Cons
Pre-pandemic, there was not as much flexibility with work schedules/remote work policies. We are definitely moving in the right direction by acknowledging that remote work not only positively affects work-life balance but also the environment. For a company that has a lot of tenure, change management and adopting new policies can be challenging but Sonepar invests a lot of time and thought into getting it right.

Pros
The people I work with are great and the pay is good.
Cons
Upper management has no clue how what they want done affects those that actually do the work. Very out of touch in that respect. Expect to work weekends and have a hard time enjoying a personal life.

We value of our associates and fully understand the importance of work life balance which is why we offer paid time off that includes vacation time, sick leave, company holidays, and a hybrid work from home schedule. We strongly encourage you to discuss any concerns you have with your supervisor, or your HR business partner as we are continuously looking to make improvements to ensure that our employees are satisfied in their working environment.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The positive working atmosphere here is SO refreshing! The team is incredibly supportive. Great people. Leadership is very approachable and open to your ideas. Pay is good, fantastic benefits (minus PTO). I know a lot of Charleston companies with toxic work environments, and this is really the opposite. I'm so happy to work here!
Cons
A little old school in some respects and hesitant to adopt change, but you can see that they're taking gradual steps to modernize. Seriously need more vacation time.
