Good Company to Work For

Pros

It is a large company in terms of size, scope and revenue but it still feels like a small company. Everyone worked together as a team and were friendly. They take an active role in career growth if you put forth the time and effort.

Cons

Many of the systems/applications were dated. Management had a very old school view at the time in terms of employee work areas (very small cubes) and that while working remotely was allowed, it was an exception and otherwise employees should be in the office everyday.

Connection cultivates a culture that encourages collaboration by fostering teamwork. As a result, our employees make substantial contributions to the continued operation and growth of the organization. Whether one wants to broaden their professional horizons for advancement or acquire new skills to serve as a subject matter expert, employees are encouraged to achieve their full potential by participating in professional development opportunities and continuing education programs. Today, continuous investments in Connection’s infrastructure occur to create efficiencies and maximize productivity. As a mission-critical supplier to customers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis, Connection remains committed to delivering the vital IT solutions and services needed to keep America’s hospitals, federal agencies, and businesses operating during the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, under normal business conditions, approximately 25% of our workforce was remote, with the balance of our employees working in multiple sites across the country. We expanded our remote capability for all essential positions to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of the organizations we support. While the duration of the pandemic is unknown, we will explore workplace flexibility as a component to our return-to-the-office strategy. Thank you for your support.
