Pros

Treated very well when starting out (bonuses, paid training, etc.). Constantly has different events, free food, giveaways, etc.

Cons

After a short time, your sales goals jump through the roof dramatically. Lots of cold calling as well.

Thank you for your feedback. We do offer our sales representatives excellent opportunities to be successful via training and variable compensation opportunities. Thank you for suggesting to have our more senior sales representatives help our newer people. We will let the President of our SMB sales division aware of your comment.

Pros

Great training. Great first sales job. Great being vendor agnostic, get as much out of this job as you can as far as the training goes.

Cons

Really low base pay... not flexible with working from remotely... even make you drive in during a snow blizzard...or take a vacation day. Career opportunities, are mission impossible...Hardly anyone gets promoted.

Thank you for your feedback. We’ve made recent changes to our overall compensation plan, and those changes have been received extremely well. We do thank you for your positive comments on our training program. Once an Account Manager reaches a certain volume they can earn the ability to work from home, but those not at goal or new to the Company need the on-site level of support to be successful. To promote one’s career goals, we also have a defined path for an Account Manager to become a Senior Account Manager to an Executive Account Manager, with corresponding increases in compensation. In addition, most of our Sales Coaches, Sales Managers, Sales Directors, and Vice Presidents have been promoted internally.

Easy company to get into. Great place to start in the corporate environment.

PC Connection has invested and will continue to invest in tools to improve our lead generation process. We have many success stories of inside sales employees who have built a significant book of business and earned commissions that are far superior to other companies in our labor markets where we compete for talent. Many employees also appreciate the fact that they can earn exceptional income with no overnight travel or weekends while enjoying numerous perks.
