Pros

It's hard to list any pros. Although there are certain departments, managers, executives, and staff that are genuinely talented and caring people, overall the company is not the same.

Cons

Pay: For starters, if you are someone applying for a position at Intelisys (or any ScanSource company), don't expect to get paid even industry standard. Unless you live in a low cost of living city, the pay and benefits are generally very low. This is evidenced by the high turnover and many people who are jumping ship to competitors who are willing to pay their worth. Not only that but every department is so understaffed, leadership doesn't approve new hires and so all responsibility from people who leave falls onto the employees that stay with no increase in pay. Favoritism: Not sure if this is just a standard trait in the channel but favoritism, nepotism, and the boys club are so prevalent across Intelisys that unless you're one of the guys, you're screwed. Misogyny is pretty standard treatment, most of the incompetent men fall upward while women take on a large portion of the responsibility. Security: I can't count how many times peers reported something to HR. Ranging from racist leaders, verbally and mentally abusive leaders, and incompetent leaders. The response was always the same: nothing. It is not a safe space to share with HR and other leaders because it almost always gets back to the individual. Retaliation is not uncommon meanwhile working conditions don't change. Ego: Leaders across the organization are so ego-driven. Instead of driving the strategy (one does not exist) and then supporting teams to build their tactics around such strategy, top-down micromanagement driven by ego is the leadership style. Lack of understanding + hiring: Executives hire friends or peers from other organizations who join Intelisys and demand their way. Unfortunately, this means that talented people with plenty of valuable knowledge are told how to do their jobs, and almost always incorrectly. Intelisys would benefit from an overhaul of 50% of execs and directors. Diversity: ScanSource has a diversity committee that is fully dedicated to the illusion that diversity is a priority. ~95% of all executive and director-level leadership are white, ~90% are men. ~95% straight. Diversity is only valued when it's convenient. Promotions and raises are mostly given to straight white men, and then the responsibility is passed down to everyone else. HR is so severely overwhelmed and understaffed and recruitment suffers. Almost all recruited individuals are the same. I can promise that that's not because white men are the only one's suitable for the job, it's because that's the recruitment practice and culture of the company. Career Growth: Quite simply, there is none. Fight like hell for your own career advancement and you might get a new job title with no new responsibilities and no more pay.
