SYNNEX Reviews

Pros

good job security with fair compensation
normal work hours
great first job if you don't stay too long
pretty good team environment

Cons

senior leadership
no real experience gained (not a sales job but an order taker)
must work from the office
minimal opportunity for career advancement

Advice to Senior Management

create a career path
train these people
pay them based on their performance and do away with a single comp plan unless it is based solely on GP

Pros

Close team environment even if you work remotely.
Compensation is fair and stability is much greater than other organizations within the channel. Tenure of folks within Synnex is typically 4x-5x the length to other organizations.

Cons

Very difficult to be promoted from inside sales to field sales position, although it is possible.

Pros

An opportunity to make a living with no weekend work. There are some great people employed at Synnex that are afraid to express their dislikes in fear of losing their jobs.

Cons

Unless you are one of the good ole boys, life at Synnex can be very painful. There is little to no compassion shown to employees by the majority of management. The almighty dollar rules. There are some very dishonest and unethical behaviors in some of the management.

Advice to Senior Management

I would suggest being honest and sticking to your word. The employees are the company and there needs to be a lot more concern for them.

Pros

Great potential for company growth and solid company to grow with. Benefits are really good and most of the people are good to work with.

Cons

Management not empowered or trusted to be empowered to make tactical and operational purchases and decisions. Micro managing from corporate. Corporate management wants to retain too much control over the facilities. Salary not matching market pay for job responsibilities in management.

Advice to Senior Management

Empower local management to be able to make decisions and purchase needs for each distribution center. Salaries need to be reviewed against actual job functions and responsibilities to match what the market is paying for similiar responsibilities.

Pros

Great people
Fun place to work, Will give you time off if you need it.
Great stepping stone to move up
Meet vendors, Learn new technology
Very profitable company

Cons

cheap with salaries.. some advancement but limited for most

Pros

SYNNEX is a progressive IT company that is expanding
there is an ever expanding product line and the company is actively looking at other vertical in which it can grow

Cons

micro management would be the the biggest issue an could be discouraging depending on your personality type. Management tends to be brought in externally

Pros

Good job security. You can work here for the rest of your life as long as you complete your low productivity tasks. Benefits package here is above average when compared to other companies.

Cons

Minimal room for advancement and growth. Working environment is very dissatisfying with lack of motivation from peers. Management provides next to no performance evaluations and does not help employees in their advancement.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend more time listening to the employees instead of taking time off. Management is constantly out on "business trips" with minimal reviews with employees. Personal reviews allow for improvement and growth.

Pros

High job security, friendly people around

Cons

little career advancement for non-sales positions

Advice to Senior Management

you're doing a good job
