As a Fortune 1000 entity employing over 2,500 individuals, there are times where matters do not progress as fast as all parties would desire. We are in the business of connecting people with technology so they can elevate their productivity, enhance their growth and empower innovation within their organization. As a result, it is important that we are both a student and a master of the industry. Connection values initiative and rewards dedication. It’s this reputation that allows us to attract bright, ambitious leaders to complement our tenured management team. Multiple perspectives and diverse backgrounds lend to creative thinking and those innovative ideas drive our success. From fostering a harmonious work environment to affording generous vacation allocation, Connection places a value on work-life balance. You are correct in stating that there are positions within the organization that afford the ability to work remotely with a flexible schedule that entail travel. Thank you for your contributions.

Pros

Generous vacation time form the start. Some roles offer flexibility to work remote. They definitely like to promoted from within when possible.

Cons

401k match is only 25% . Pretty low compared to most other companies. Health benefits are okay. Could be a little better.

Thank you for your advice. Fostering a culture of mutual respect results in that organizational harmony you experience today. Comprehensive benefits are a component of our “total rewards” strategy which includes competitive compensation, professional development and a positive work environment. When those factors are considered in totality, we believe that our benefits package is competitive in today’s marketplace. Our benefit program is designed to meet the needs of a diverse workforce. Our program allows employees to customize their benefits to meet their individual needs. Our medical options are inclusive of prescription drug coverage and promote wellness initiatives. We recognize the importance for planning for financial security to reach your retirement goals. Time away from work provides valuable psychological and physical benefits. In addition to identifying and developing the innate talents of our employees, our managers inspire employees to achieve their fullest potential. We are pleased to share that cultivating internal talent is one of our strong suits - approximately 50% of our openings are filled internally. Thank you for recognizing that Connection provides many opportunities for career progression.

Thank you for your comments on the culture at Connection. We are glad to see that your experience here has been positive and that you enjoy your coworkers and management team. We do strive to keep a smaller company feel and it is why we have many long term employees. We do agree also that communication for remote employees can be sometimes challenging and as you state, we operate in a very competitive business.
