Thank you for your positive comments on your ability to earn unlimited commission, and our positive work environment. The earning opportunities for an Inside Sales Account Manager exceed those of most companies in the greater Southern New Hampshire marketplace. We will certainly take into account your suggestion about ensuring patience with our new Account Managers, as we know it take time to establish your book of business, and our Sales Managers and Sales Coaches are there to help enable your success.

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.

Pros

Great pay 40k plus spiffs and bonuses. Yearly trips. Too much food!

Cons

Your happiness depends on your direct supervisor. If he or she likes you then great. But if not you are screwed. I have seen it on other teams. If your boss doesn't like you, no leads, no good accounts sent your way after a rep leaves.

Thank you for your feedback. PC Connection operates with a high degree of integrity and we believe many of your statements are not an accurate representations of how we conduct business . We are sorry you feel this way, as we do our best to promote a team atmosphere at PC Connection, always trying to be fair and consistent in our decision making.
