Pros

If you're in Toronto, it's a great place to work. Lots of people and friends to meet. Great way to start your career, meet a lot of vendors, free lunches, prizes etc. It's a fortune 100 place to work. It's a public company, it's also a place where you can retire. Pay your dues, and find ways to advance yourself. There are a lot of bonuses. If you are the top 1 % of the company, you get to travel all expense paid for vacation with other people around North America.

Cons

- Quota system, you have to meet quotas in order to make your commission. - It's not that competitive but it's could be a place that's hard to overcome obstacles. It's always hard to make changes in the company. -There are a lot of veterans who are really bored and tired of their work.

Pros

Ingram is place one can truly grow, since they are very good at promoting from within. A lot of Ingram work requires tribal knowledge that isn't easily gained elsewhere, so it is rare for an outsider to swoop in on a desirable job. It is also a place where getting substantial business management skills and responsibility can happen early in one's career.

Cons

Salary is an issue, but as a 5% gross margin business, that is somewhat understandable. Due to salary, the associates sometimes don't all seem elite-level, but Ingram does do a good job weeding out weaker players so that upper management is generally pretty solid. This also means that work can be overly busy, since Ingram won't over-staff. Travel can be an issue - not enough funds to feel like a real business-travel employer when you're early in your career, but excessive travel once you're director-level. Also, since Ingram is one of 3 major nationwide distributors, it sometimes feels as though you're getting experience in a niche that might not be transferable long-term, except for working in Sales at an IT vendor, perhaps. Ingram also has a lot of standard protocols that make it challenging to enter new businesses and be successful.
