Tech Data reviews about "manager"

In early 2018, a woman in her late 20s told me, while on the job, confidential stories about her personal relationship, and that when she was 19, she first became involved in an intimate relationship with her 14-year-old boyfriend. I was quite astonished that somebody would tell me this while at work. When I told other employees and management, one of the managing staff told me not to dare say anything about it, appearing to defend the woman. At that point forward, Tech Data began building a file, alleging numerous things from being too loud, to damaging equipment. Furthermore, a man in his early 50s was making inappropriate remarks to and coercing an 18-year-old girl who worked there, and, in my personal opinion, believing that was wrong, raised an objection, when he responded to me, rudely and loudly, almost appearing to acknowledge his wrongdoing, “You know what? I don’t like you anymore! Don’t talk to me!”. In May 2018, I was escorted from my workstation to the manager’s office, where I was told that I was terminated, and the two managers who were present made sarcastic remarks, smiled and joked about the matter, and, while smiling, told me that I spit on the equipment, which was untrue, along with other similar allegations. I had applied for unemployment benefits which were initially denied due to Tech Data’s allegations, however, in my appeal, which was successful, and based on these facts, Texas Workforce Commission ruled that I was not at fault. Tech Data was a good company, and there were many nice employees who I enjoyed working with, however, I believe that towards the end of my employment there, I was treated very badly by management. Furthermore, Tech Data refused to hand over a copy of my employee file or disciplinary records, and also failed to hand over any relevant documents (other than a voluntary resignation packet) upon the termination, giving me limited evidence for complaints (other than the TWC ruling, where the employer, Tech Data, failed to appear at the hearing). Very disappointed in Tech Data.

No career development perspectives, micromanagement, low salaries

- Very low pay compared to the market average - Don't care about the people who is important (AP, VR, GL and Cash departments have salaries near minimum wage in Spain justified by that they are Service Center) - Very high attrition - Huge workload due to the attrition and very low headcount - Some managers dont know what people do and leads to bad decision taking

Needs less managers, better pay

High attrition at lower levels. Operations inexperienced

Pay is less than standard

I accepted this job even though the pay was very low because of the pros. The pros really aren’t worth it at all. I thought the company culture was going to be a lot better than it was. The company is just so large which is cool in a lot of ways but the company culture really isn’t there. Most of the jobs are boring so people spend all day gossiping which is annoying to listen to. The pay is very low and getting raises is a standardized process so they are low and after certain lengths of time. Switching positions or moving up to a higher role takes about 18 months I think.. and then you have to stay at that role for another 18 months I believe. So it is a slow and long process to move up in the company. There are also so many other people with the exact same boring, low pay job as you who also want to move up. I wasn’t in sales so the interview and hiring process took over a month. My friend who works in sales ended up applying for a higher level job after 18 months of employment and that process took her 4 months to transition to the new job. I think she had to wait a whole month to hear back. That personally would be really stressful for me. That was when i knew i didn’t see a future with the company. I couldn’t imagine waiting 18 months to be able to apply for a barely better job, get a $3 raise, and then have to patiently wait a month to hear back. You have to be very patient to work here i guess. Overall, tons of boring low paying jobs and very few higher up jobs that may or may not be just as boring.

Although I'm happy with the facility and the benefits, I feel the actual pay is a bit weak. I have been offered higher paying jobs to go to other companies since I accepted this job, but I turned them down. My job feels pretty secure here and I really like the people I work with. Hopefully once I've been here a bit longer they will re-evaluate my pay and increase it accordingly. I feel I really undersold my abilities during my job interview. I had much more experience than I wanted to give myself credit for, but didn't want to oversell myself. I think my current pay reflects that decision. But it's one that is my fault and I've chosen to live with it for now.

High turnover and management is shuffled around often so many managers, directors, and VP's are not knowledgeable on the teams they're put in charge of and therefore are prone to making poor business decisions.
