Decent first or stepping stone job.
Pros
Good amount of medium quality benefits available (health, dental, pet, 401k, vacation). Offers work from home, steady work, comfortable work environment and people are nice.
Cons
The pay is bad and since being bought, Techdata is lowering sales salaries in a couple different ways. Commission has been changed to bonus, so they have more flexibility in making it nearly impossible to get. You are forced to carry budgets for companies that no longer do business with TD. The new compensation plan is extremely difficult to calculate considering they are beginning to limit employee visibility to sales figures and instead you rely on occasional updates from the same compensation team that messes up paychecks multiple times every year. We are also required to carry budgets for other team members despite not having the visibility or ability to affect those sales. TD is quietly changing all sales commission plans to a bonus format with numerous sales growth gates that makes it very easy to get zero bonus if you miss anything. Less $ for you, more for TD. My group was the first to change last year and a 2nd team was changed last quarter. They are going slow to limit the impact of employees quitting. This effectively lowered my pay by 20%. SSRs made about $50-65k/yr before and are forecasting 10-15k less annual income after the change.
