Pros

People you work with are very good with the exception of a few. Laid back as far as working, your not rushed. Work is easy most of the time.

Cons

Starting pay is below par, but you know this going into the job, don't complain afterwards, you agreed to it. Favoritism with "some" management giving the good jobs to those that are friends. Didn't ever except 3 or 4 times get 40 hours, was around 35 to 37 hours per week, not enough work in order selector department.

Your honest feedback is appreciated. As with most work environments, there are those colleagues who contribute their full effort which has a positive impact on the team. Then, there are those few who do not rise to the occasion. We are pleased you found the work environment to your liking. It is imperative that our total rewards strategy remains competitive to retain our valued employees and attract new talent. As a result, we routinely examine the local labor market to ensure that our wages are appropriate for the responsibilities assigned. Additions to the management team in Wilmington, OH have occurred recently. We believe those additions will have a positive impact in the Distribution Center. We will share your concerns with the management team.

Pros

Great people and a strong work life balance.

Cons

Very old systems, is stuck in the 90s with the sales mentality. Needs to upgrade management with other industry talent.

We vehemently agree that we are surrounded by great colleagues and we exhibit a strong work-life balance. You are also correct in stating that success is not defined by phone activity. Creating a foundation for long-lasting and rewarding partnerships with our employees and our customers is critical to our success. We secure and retain top talent. We provide that talent with effective tools and resources. We invest in our talent’s professional development. For our customers, we employ a collaborative approach to the design, deployment and support of technology. This approach coupled with our purchasing power and technical expertise has earned Connection the reputation of trusted advisor with our customers. It’s that operational excellence throughout every employee and customer engagement that lends to our success. As we actively deploy system enhancements, we recognize additional infrastructure investments are necessary to enhance our operational synergy. Thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Great coworkers. Decent hours. Overtime whenever you want and as long as you want.

Cons

Lots of changes going on. Feels more like a warehouse instead of a tech company.
