Low salary

Pros

Flexible work hours, the ability to remote in from home, no micro-management and the people I work with are the best things about working here.

Cons

Whether you're a recent college grad or have been here for some time, the salary is well below market. There's very little chance a recent college grad could support him/herself on the starting salary. There is also no real career path or defined advancement opportunities.

Thanks for your comments about the great culture here at PC Connection. We feel we have a very well defined career path and there are advancement opportunities. The majority of our positions are filled internally and jobs are posted for staff to bid on and win based on their qualifications and performance. We encourage you to discuss your career potential with your Manager or Human Resources. We feel our salaries are competitive for the areas in which we compete for talent, and we regularly review our compensation and benchmark them to similar companies. Our low attrition rate particularly in our support areas is a testament to this.

Pros

Great team, positive environment-management is open to ideas and can speak/express your thoughts freely, work life balance/ benefits and 401K kicks in after 30 days with company match. Stock options and quarterly bonuses. We really appreciate employees-monthly employee appreciation meetings and we throw fun corporate events. Provides tools to become successful.

Cons

Cold office, can take sometime for feedback on interviews with certain positions.

Condescending, horrific experience

Pros

Some of the people you work with are really awesome and fun, showcases can be entertaining, good for people who pretty much have no lives and all they want to do is work to further their career.

Cons

Management showed a total lack of respect and no appreciation for work put in. Micromanaging is enough to drive someone mad, especially if their manager dials in remotely. Expectations are unrealistic, and they are not flexible. Even as salary, you have to clock in and clock out. Extremely outdated business model and poverty line pay for the industry. Rigid environment, extremely right wing. Feels more like you are on a nanny cam while at work than anything else. Not understanding of work-life balance unless you are high enough in the totem pole, otherwise you are considered disposable. I have never felt so demoralized in my life but I kept at it with a smile on my face to provide for my family. I would never in a million years recommend someone work here.

We don't believe that this employee's experience is typical of what the vast majority of employees currently working here would say. We continuously hear how people speak glowingly of the culture and the company's approach to fostering a work environment where all employees are valued.
