Connection reviews

It’s disappointing to hear you felt that favoritism was evident and the environment was difficult. From our perspective, our Marlborough facility is a satellite sales office filled with professional salespeople who embody the work hard, play smart and have fun mantra. The management team is receptive to suggestions to enhance the environment so employees are encouraged to exercise their voice. As you indicated, there are several perks afforded to employees – agreeable work schedules, comprehensive benefits inclusive of incentive compensation and discounts on products. It is realistic to set minimum performance standards in the interest of meeting both the department and company goals. A performance improvement plan (PIP) is a means to notify an employee that there is a gap between present and acceptable performance. The PIP is a fluid document which all parties may contribute to the action plan to remedy the matter addressed. One of our most valuable assets is our employee population. As a result, retaining and investing in our personnel is paramount. So trust that people matter at CNXN and PIPs are a means to continue an amenable union. If an employee found that their PIP did not have reasonable and/ or unfair expectations, they should consult with their HR Business Partner.
