Tech Data reviews about "training"

A lot of people sit in their positions 20+ years so it kind of seems like advancement is not the easiest. Terrible training programs.

Poor pay, poor spiffs as TD only gives free lunch during summer and around the holidays and that's it. All other spiffs usually come from the vendors. Training department is poor from manager to trainers. Training is delivered by inexperienced trainer's that don't have a background in training. At least the manager is good at leading exercises during the day. Expect major layoffs every 2 years as that's been the norm for the last 10 years. Hopefully new leadership can right the ship. Lots of favoritism as well. I know that happens at most companies, but it's bad here. So, if you can't suck up, you will never move up the ladder. Lots of managers are inexperienced in the departments they work in. Got the job because they were good at sucking up. This is why the company culture is not good. Look elsewhere if you can!

management, no training, benefits, human resources

-Really low pay in comparison to similar positions in other companies ( only 18K/year in Tech Data) -There is no training plan at all which leads to huge chaos. During induction, head manager of Barcelona branch asks if people are satisfied with training, which suggests company is aware of this issue. -People are being promoted not because they are able to do their job, but because they were long time with the company, despite the fact they have 0 to none skills to manage people. -During the interview process company reps lie about true reasons why people quit and assure training will be provided. -Managers and supervisors ignore your requests to provide training or explain things. -In duration of 3 months , 6 employees have left the department which consists out of 10 people. Most of them just quit during probation period. -I would say that that this is the worst company/department I have ever worked for. -Office located quite far away and is really old building with disguising toilets. - Manager was late to the initial interview 40 minutes, knowing the fact that I had other job to go to afterwards.

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.
