Low salary

Pros

Flexible work hours, the ability to remote in from home, no micro-management and the people I work with are the best things about working here.

Cons

Whether you're a recent college grad or have been here for some time, the salary is well below market. There's very little chance a recent college grad could support him/herself on the starting salary. There is also no real career path or defined advancement opportunities.

Thanks for your comments about the great culture here at PC Connection. We feel we have a very well defined career path and there are advancement opportunities. The majority of our positions are filled internally and jobs are posted for staff to bid on and win based on their qualifications and performance. We encourage you to discuss your career potential with your Manager or Human Resources. We feel our salaries are competitive for the areas in which we compete for talent, and we regularly review our compensation and benchmark them to similar companies. Our low attrition rate particularly in our support areas is a testament to this.

Pros

-Almost unlimited resources at your disposal -Everyday has the potential to learn something new whether product/process or procedure related -Atmosphere and coworkers are good people, laid back and down to earth while hard working

Cons

-Supposedly the current micro managing by managers was never this apparent as the past -I've witnessed quite a bit of turnover from SSA's and Account Managers in a short period of time -Pay for an SSA is somewhat laughable especially for the amount of work you do behind the scenes (hoping "putting in my time" pays off for the next level)

We are happy you mentioned the unlimited training resources available to employees of GovConnection. We work hard to provide the training needed to succeed here. As you mentioned we have a great culture of people as well, something we are particularly proud of. We do have one of the highest tenured staff in the industry; employee turnover in sales after 3 years in the role is far below the industry average due to the earnings realized and the unlimited earnings potential. The SSA role you mention is entry-level, with a corresponding salary; we wouldn’t want anyone to stay in that role for very long in fact. We encourage our SSAs to learn as much as they can and we offer incentives to move up in to a higher-salaried position with additional responsibility as soon as they are ready. All of our top reps began their career journey with us as SSAs and we are proud of their growth. Also, a major facilities upgrade is in the works, stay tuned!
