Santa Ana, CA

Current Employee – been working at Ingram Micro part-time for less than a year

ProsI enjoy the people I work with, the environment and so far it seems like there is a lot of opportunity to grow and develop.

ConsTypical office setting, low pay in comparison with the rest of the market, and not many team development or corporate events for employees.

Advice to Senior ManagementLeveling pay with current pay rates and investing time and money to appreciate employees (Holiday parties, etc.)

Williamsville, NY

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

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

ConsThere 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.

Williamsville, NY

Current Employee – been working at Ingram Micro full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat benefits, upbeat atmosphere, learning opportunities, good starting pay. The overall attitude is toward helping, learning and growth.

ConsThe tech support mentality is anyone off the street can replace any current employee and as a result advancement is difficult and pay can be stagnant until threatening to leave.

Advice to Senior ManagementRecognize the hard working employees and reward them before they leave

Buffalo, NY

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

ProsIt'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.

ConsAfter 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 Managementpay your people more and treat them like that matter
