SYNNEX – “Great place to get your foot in the door for sales!”
Pros
The best reasons to work for SYNNEX is because of the people there. The team spirit and communication is amazing! On top of working so hard selling IT equipment, the vendors would come in and feed you and give you prizes which makes working at SYNNEX so much better! You get lots of training and you are prepared to take on the world. You email and communicate alot with other co-workers but once you get into the habit, it's actually a really fun and no-brainer to work at. I highly recommend if you like being a social butterfly.
Cons
The pay is terrible and they seemed to change the sales comp plan yearly it seems (to the company's benefit, not ours!). However, I still have friends there who have been working through the storms and they seem to be quite happy there. There are alot of veterans who have worked there for 10-20 years. The Sales Manager tend to be on your case at times - depending on his mood. It's not necessarily micro-managing, but could seem like it if your numbers are not on track. If they are not on track, they are more than happy to help you.
Advice to Senior Management
Fight for our pay and you'll keep better people on board! Paying the best sales reps $3X,000/year while feeding the entire company is a bit scandalous. We are living in the Bay Area for Christ's sakes!
