We are fortunate to be surrounded by great people, profound team momentum and respectable benefits offerings. We hear your sentiments that today’s workforce needs to be able to communicate, collaborate, and do their best work from anywhere, not just the office. Prior to the global spread of the COVID-19 Virus, approximately 25% of our workforce was remote. Recently, Connection expanded remote capability for all essential positions as a component of our business continuity plan. While there is not a formal BYOD program currently in effect, there are a variety of devices available to employees to address their technology preferences. Thank you for your positive outlook.

Pros

3 weeks of vacation to start

Cons

This company couldnt plan a childs birthday party. The amount of unorganization is unbelievable. Our quarterly luncheon/meeting yesterday was the same ole song and dance, lies and false promises. Its funny that they blame the economy for not being able to find people to stay and work. Upper management is not smart enough to realize they cant keep people because of their actions and they cant hire experienced people because of the low pay. Its stupid how many times one of the VPs has to apologize for not listening to the employees and then turns around and preaches employee empowerment. This place is a zoo.

Connection makes considerable investments in recruiting talent and retaining employees. In light of an influx of significant program rollouts at the TIDC, there is a demand for more talent. In addition to strategically repositioning resources and employing technology to streamline the fulfillment process, we’ve successfully procured a contract recruiter to secure the talent needed to meet our customer requirements. By investing in our employee population through a competitive, comprehensive toward rewards package, committing to educational and professional improvement opportunities and providing emerging technical equipment, tools and resources, Connection demonstrates the commitment to the welfare of our employee population and the success of the organization.

Attention Home Office...SOS

Pros

Start with 3 weeks of vacation. Interest free computer loan.

Cons

Deep breath...The list of cons for this company at least for the Wilmington branch would be a novel to say the least. This company is like a depressing comedy in the sense that one minute you will be angry and feeling hopeless, and the next you will be laughing hysterically at how ignorant the people in charge are. Fake it til you make it is the motto and culture. The brilliant minds that run this company promise the moon during daylight hours and blame the lab when it doesn't happen. One of the most senior members of management reminds you of an angry frat boy that loves to fist bump. The nerve he has to tell everyone to quit complaining about overtime when we have been on mandatory for 3 months is astounding. He obviously has anger issues and im waiting for the day his issues manifest into a physical altercation. The tech labs stand in Leadership is always quick to throw any ideas that are not hers out the window that is if you can even get her to listen to you. She takes narcissism and controlling to a new level. The newer portion of upper management come from the automotive industry and instead of learning how this business runs they try to change the business into something they are familiar with. Management preaches "employee empowerment" but if you speak on anything you better believe a target is going to be on your back. This company also makes dumb mistakes like leaving a spreadsheet with all hourly associates pay unprotected where everyone could see it and by the way everyone did see it. You would think home office would notice that Managers and Supervisors are quiting at an alarming rate especially since one supervisor was a 30 year employee and another was close to a 20 year employee. Just last week a multi-person walkout almost occurred. Its companies like this that Unions exist which is why the employees are working on getting representation.
