We are pleased to hear you are enjoying the flexibility and working remote aspect of your role as a Project Manager with Connection. Connection acknowledges the value of time away from work to unwind and enjoy your extracurricular interests. Applicants and employees have expressed that the earned time program is robustly competitive. Our earned time program allows employees to earn up to three weeks of paid vacation in their first year of employment through five years of service. Employees earn four weeks after completing five years of service and five weeks after a decade of employment with Connection. You are correct about the relationship between sales and service. In order to sustain organizational success in a highly competitive environment, having structure across organizational boundaries will place Connection in a premier position for success with our employees, partners and customers.

Pros

Management is amazing. Coworkers are awesome. Flexible, challenging, overall the best company I've ever worked for.

Cons

Not many, they are growing more in the software world with the purchase of Softmart so of course there are some pains there but they listen to their employees and are willing to implement changes to make things easier & better.

Pros

Management has an open door policy. Benefits are great! Weekends are voluntary. Good pay for not being in a big city. You have to apply yourself however if you want to move forward. I feel that most of management really does care about their people. All of management will work with you when it comes to family matters. I feel the new VP is a great asset to the company. He has & shows respect for us, the employees. He wants to hear ideas and suggestions. He is engaged and spends time out on the floor, not just in his office.

Cons

No Over Time!!! Same as everywhere else, having to tolerating fellow co-workers who don't care about the job they do, but want to complain about everything under the sun.

We are pleased to hear our recent addition to the CNXN family embodies our core values that are inclusive of respect, integrity, excellence and teamwork. Your comments resonate and confirm our belief that management’s actions influence the work environment. Fostering a collaborative environment affords an opportunity for employee engagement to enhance their experience and, frankly, optimize business performance. The adage of don’t let a bad apple spoil the barrel holds true. Remember, attitudes and behaviors are infectious. Continue to exude positivity and shine! Having competitive pay and a robust benefits are critical to attract and retain talent so we are pleased you concur with CNXN’s offerings. Having set schedules helps both parties organize their respective tasks and action on their interests. We recognize the value of time away from work so weekends are optional. If based on a business need, overtime is available. We are delighted you found home at the Distribution Center.
