Werner Electric Supply Co.

I will start by saying I have been in the workforce for well over 25 years. I have never received a verbal or written warning and upon rehiring opportunity, would be welcome back at any of my previous jobs. 1 month into my employment with this company I was terminated at 9am due to my remote manager premising:  “I wasn’t learning quick enough”. Leadership is beyond a joke (think kids in an adult job). The company offers 0 training structure and has an intimidation technique to scare employees into compliancy of unwritten rules. I will add that some of the employees in different departments were quite pleasant. Leadership has 0 accountability because the structure is based off individual supervisors. I was told “training” would take 6-12 months and the reason for my termination was “not learning quick enough”. I was given no feedback to my progress and no professional criticism if inaccuracies were found. Would rate a 0 if possible. The world of employment has many places to work I would highly suggest somewhere else. 


Overworked that was under compensated, poor management, disloyalty and dishonesty to employees, Human Resources was not an aid to the employees so it was not an option to go to them with any issues, retaliation for disabilities. This company used to be a wonderful place to work and now I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. People that worked there for over 20+ years were leaving the company, including taking early retirement knowing they were losing money by doing so. Such a shame to see a once family oriented company changed into a company where you are not appreciated, management is disloyal and dishonest, and employees are extremely overworked without being compensated. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

I've worked for the company for a while now, which has been an experience. Watching the slow demise as they lost focus on the employees and switched to focusing on the profits instead. If you decide to work for Werner don't plan to make it a long term position. The glass ceiling is fairly low and there is no value on seniority. Large discrepancies in pay rates due to the leveling program and overall mismanagement. The company is top heavy with layers upon layers of management who are completely disconnected from the actual work. The stress imposed on the employees literally brings people to tears and gives us nightmares. People throughout the company warn each other not to upset various individuals because of the shouting matches that they will use to " communicate." Overall it's a job, not a career and trying to make a career out of a position at Werner is about as effective as trying to sew a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Werner seemed like a great company at the branch in Pewaukee WI. The managers in my opinion don't know how to run a company and provide proper training and coaching. The warehouse supervisor doesn't know the job, 100% depends on his two warehouse employees who have been there for years. Could never properly answer questions. Werner has a pay for performance bonus program. When I was hired on, no goals were given out and was thrown into the fire to learn everything, which I did.  There were no clear goals or expectations set. I've never had a boss so confused about a role. Take a step back, and learn the job.

There is a lot of potential, please provide proper training and expectations to your employees.

Werner Electric is filled with amazing individuals. I've grown so much within my career and made some life long friends. We all work well as a team amongst all departments, especially since the corporate building move from Neenah to Appleton, WI. There are plenty of growth opportunities if you ask for it and show hard work and dedication.

Executive/management team is visible and great to work with. They care about their employees and work hard so that we reach our goals/succeed together.

Compensation and benefits are competitive in the market.

the communication from leadership to employees is not good.

your questions don't get responses.

normal day is clock in and load truck make out route and start delivering to customers.

the culture was best described as some days were ok and others no help at all. very frustrating.

the hard part of the job was wondering if your doing something wrong constantly.

the best part of the job was delivering to my customers who a lot I have gotten to know quite well over the years.

They made sure to insist many times during the interview that they are a great place to work. And that everyone loves to work there. Which seems sketchy immediately. But they were also very sure to tell me that they would get back to me in no less than three or four days for the next step after the interview. They said, "we know how frustrating it is to not get a response, whether it's yes or no. We don't do that here." They then proceeded to never get back to me. It's not that I wanted to work there that badly, but come on. Don't lie to my face.

What is the best part of working at the company?
CO workers were nice. Otherwise supervisor was not good. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No leadership, not sure what your job description is. Flatbed trailer. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ok not great. Supervisor tries to force things on you by threatening your job. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
6 to 2 job. Unless something comes up.

While I was there I went through two different supervisors. The old supervisor was very hands off and wouldn't bother you unless something was wrong on the route. The new supervisor there is a snake, will try to set up people to get then in trouble or fired. 

Benefits are lacking in a big way, especially PTO. Get two weeks right away but need to be there for 8 years before you get a 3rd week. 

Actually being on the road was great. Got along with my customers and the route overall wasn't bad. Early morning starts are rough however. 

The title says it all. Stay away .. zero help when you start .. left to figure it out on your own.. pay is low.. logistics manager is in the wrong position doesn't know what he's doing .. benefits are so so.. go else where !!! Also if you put your notice in they basically mess with you so you cant get in the building for your scheduled shift and then go ahead and can you even though you already gave a 2 week notice previously.  I repeat do not apply to be a delivery driver!! You'll also be lucky to get your 40 hrs
