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.

Pros

Experienced co-workers who know their job and are willing to share their knowledge.

Cons

Poor management that don't listen to their employees. Unsafe work environment with unprofessional leadership who mishandled my injury. They tried to force me to divulge my confidential WSIB correspondence. I felt unsafe working here. Mismanagement of experience and talent and blame shifting of leadership onto floor workers.
