Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn about different vendor solutions.

Cons

Seems to be a lack of focus for the services group. Benefits are lacking especially around paternal leave. Most tech companies have at least 4 weeks of paid leave.

It’s disappointing to hear that your Connection experience isn’t meeting your expectations. We agree with your assessment regarding the robust benefit offerings that are inclusive of a generous vacation allowance upon hire at Connection. We examine the labor market routinely to ensure our total rewards strategy remains competitive for prospective employees and retains talent. In addition to establishing goals and objectives for performance, managers provide guidance to employees who express an interest in their professional development at Connection. Your success is our success. You are encouraged to reach out to your Manager and/ or your Human Resources representative to discuss your particular concerns further.

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.
