This company is really behind the competition and thinks they are competitive within the IT space, but they are not.

Pros

Built great relationships with internal folks and other vendors outside of Connection. Learned more about the technology field and completely understood that I needed to get far away from this sales organization.

Cons

You’re basically in sales no matter what position you have- which you don’t understand until you actually start. If you do not like sales you will hate Connection. The company thinks that they are ahead or in line with their competition in terms of brand reputation and benefits- they absolutely are not. It’s totally a corporate culture that is hard to adjust to when you come from a better company, with super old internal systems and office space. Working from home was available only there was a serious reason for some people while available anytime for others. Favoritism is so apparent. I don’t regret working here because it solidified that there are much better companies out there! Don’t say you care about your employees, instead actually SHOW it. Always needing credit for what you offer as benefits and perks for your employees takes away from the actual experience.

Pros

Great coworkers to have on your team.

Cons

There is truly nothing good to say about working for this company. The system is broken, we are being asked to chase our own money/commission because we are not being paid properly. The company is over promising and under delivering to their customers. The morale is beyond low.

Since 1982, we’ve connected customers with technology to enhance growth, elevate productivity, and empower innovation. Throughout the years, Connection has been recognized for performance excellence and continued trust as evident in the commendations from leading business publications and our partner community.

We will continue to translate problems into practical solutions for the benefit of the organization and the employee population. You are encouraged to engage your manager and/ or Human Resources Business Partner in the interest of enriching your Connection experience and addressing your concerns.
