Organizational Silos

Pros

-"We're all in this together" attitude with peers. Others want to help you when they can. -Good people in the middle and lower levels.

Cons

-Highly political environment: You must play the game to stay in good graces, or hope to fly under the radar. -Senior leaders (Directors and above) are more concerned with doing what they think their boss wants, than they are in doing right for the business or the people. -Since no one has any knowledge outside of their silo, the senior leadership within each silo is able to manipulate whatever they need to in order to create the perception of competance. Budget creation, HR feedback, assignment of work and recognition are all controlled within each group to support the image that the senior leader wants to create.

Pros

Tech Data has some of the best people to work with in the Tampa Bay area. The difficulties with the newer management in the company has been detrimental in keeping key employees.

Cons

Poor management. Management positions are filled with people without the basic understanding of their job. They also lay-off their seasoned employees to back fill with cheaper employees.

Good Starting Point

Pros

Management is great about balancing work and personal. There are great perks depending upon the vendor you are aligned with and there are many opportunities to hone your professional skills (i.e. Presentations, travel, etc). The benefits package is pretty decent, you receive a weeks pay from day one, health benefits at 90 days, discounted profit sharing, and 401K matching. Most companies out there are still cutting back on benefits and it was nice that TD brought them back.

Cons

Upper management seems disconnected with what is actually needed from middle management. There are many teams that seem to be underwhelmed and many that are overwhelmed. It seems that this could be better balanced so none are left shorthanded.
