Love it but not happy right now

Pros

Immediate team members are amazing. Having a team helps with training and tips for the multiple hurdles we are facing, tons of opportunity to create your own success- so if you like working independently while also being on a team - it’s a great place. Typically this organization has shown appreciation and values hard workers- with good people who perhaps are not sales oriented but fine hard workers finding a new path within the organization. Networking opportunities are also in some cases forged. Honestly this place is normally great

Cons

Senior leadership right now and in the past year has been consistently shifting blame on numbers to sales while taking away perks and pay incentives, ability to track our numbers with a poor implementation of a new commission tracking software and ERP, hiring more sales without hiring more infrastructure which slows down our help needs, adds more and more meetings that are mandatory- all these added stresses on top of huge constraints in the industry and price changes by our vendors with no relief in goals is causing huge morale issues and many are leaving - however I do feel that at some point that senior leadership will at some point recognize their errors, hopefully apologize for their actions - because the shifting blame is at the root cause of the mass exodus out the door- if they stopped shifting the blame and took the responsibility much of the issues being faced by their sales force would be forgiven.

Pros

I have been here for a little over a year and I've loved it so far! At first, it can be challenging to reach out to clients and get opportunities, but I think that's something that comes with any sales job and once you start seeing your book of business grow, you start to see all the hard work paying off. Additionally, while you're working hard at building your book, management is always there to cheer you on. You get a sales coach for your first year and mine has been extremely helpful towards my growth and helped me find a love for the IT industry. With every success that you have, management is constantly celebrating your achievements and wins with you. Additionally, I feel very heard as an employee at Connection. Any time I've brought up an idea that may help our company improve, management is very quick to listen and even discuss how it may be beneficial for the organization, they'll always welcome suggestions and actually look into them rather than pushing them aside. Finally, while this is a sales job and we have to meet goals, I find myself having the ability to be creative in my work day as far as how I reach out to customers which always makes me excited to come into work. I'm very grateful for this company and everything it has to offer. It's a grind for the first year, there's no getting around that, but the reward at the end is so worth it!
