Current Employee – been working at Ingram Micro full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – if you are a go-getter, willing to work your butt off IN SALES then you will make it in this company.

Cons – There is not a process for cross-department transfers. Meaning if you are in tech support and would like to move to sales, there is no "approved" route to go on. You're kind of on your own with that.

Former Employee – worked at Ingram Micro full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – It's a great place for recent grads and pretty easy to get promoted in the first couple years. A lot of young employees. Good benefits.

Cons – After the first couple years you just plateau and it gets really political. They pay below industry average, especially in the Buffalo office because there aren't a lot of other tech jobs in Buffalo and Ingram uses that keep the pay down. It's nearly impossible to get fired, even for the people that should be, which causes low morale and animosity on teams. Overall, employees are unhappy in their positions.

Advice to Senior Management – pay your people more and treat them like that matter
