Not for everyone

Pros

It's okay if you're on the right team with the right supervisors. If not, good luck. Okay healthcare and vacation time, some flexibility with personal time when you need it.

Cons

There's a lot of favoritism going on, and promotion to employees that don't pull their weight. Lack of recognition all around. Lack of professionalism from some of the higher ups. You are viewed as a number and are paid less than market value, despite high expectations. Would not recommend

It’s disappointing to see your experience with Connection was not favorable. Recognizing that each individual has unique needs, Connection offers work-life programs that empower employees to customize their benefit elections and manage their personal time off needs. We strive to be an employer of choice and emphasize respect, excellence, teamwork and integrity in our business and employment practices. Promotional opportunities are abundant at Connection. Our selection process involves evaluating an incumbent’s skills relative to the essential job functions. As a result, favoritism has no place in our hiring process. There are a number of avenues employed to recognize individual contributors and teams for their contributions to the organization. We expect all employees exercise professional decorum regardless of their title. It is pragmatic for an employer to set realistic and viable performance expectations for their employees. Our compensation packages are evaluated routinely and account for the labor markets where Connection employs talent. As a result, we believe our total rewards strategy is sound. At the end of the day, employees are encouraged to share their suggestions, compliments and/ or concerns with Human Resources via the means conducive to their personal preference. If an individual is more comfortable with providing anonymous feedback, we have a mechanism in place for those that prefer that route. Regardless of the path employed, know that we are listening.

Pros

At least they are in Florida

Cons

Disgusting how people get promoted because they are like by upper management, and because of those poor choices the companies bottom line suffers. And the person that got promoted never gets blamed
