Pros

Great people, some managers are good depending on the department, decent PTO...

Cons

No room for advancement, try to undercut competitors often to gain business and can be a bit unrealistic when trying to execute projects with such a low budget, under market value pay offered for most positions, benefits are mediocre, 401(k) match is a joke.

We agree that we are fortunate to be surrounded by great colleagues and a liberal PTO practice. We remain committed to our “total rewards” strategy of offering comprehensive benefits, competitive pay and professional development. Our flexible benefits program affords an employee the ability to make elections based on their personal needs. Being armed with the right information to make those decisions is critical. If the information on our intranet leaves you unresolved in your options, please contact a member of the Benefits team to discuss your particulars so you may maximize the benefits offered. Our compensation strategies includes an assessment of the labor market so we can attract and retain talent. We are of the opinion that our compensation plans are competitive in the markets that we serve. Whether by means of our formal succession program, participation in Connection University coursework and/ or partnering with your manager relative to career development, advancement opportunities do exist at Connection. You are encouraged to discuss your career aspirations with your manager. There are many strategies one can employ to win business. There are several benefits to serving as a one-stop shop for our customers’ IT needs. At the end of the day, employees are encouraged to profoundly impact the value of IT in an organization and create customers for life. Utilize us… we will continue to invest in you as our valued employee.
