Pros

Great Co-workers and Shift Leads.

Cons

Management plays favorites, nepotism everywhere (Our Supervisor supervises his brother, Mother works with Daughter, etc.), our Configuration Lab Manager has no experience and looks bewildered and confused at all times. I have no faith in our HR to protect employees and even less in our Director.

We are fortunate to have many talented and skilled employees in our Distribution Center. The nature of our business involves constant change. In the configuration lab, our lab techs and managers stand ready to install and deliver our technology solutions. When onboarding a new associate, whether a colleague or manager, it is realistic to rely on the knowledge and strength of the team to acquaint the individuals with processes and procedures of the department. Investing in one another will strengthen the team to operate cohesively while enhancing respective skillsets. We do feel we have a good management team in place in Wilmington. In light of some key changes that have been recently implemented, as well as our focus on Lean Management techniques, we are seeing vast improvements in key indicators including throughput and quality. Connection is committed to a policy of employment that is based on qualifications and merit. We maintain standards of equity and inclusiveness for all in the workplace. Connection does not discriminate in favor or in opposition to the employment of relatives. We recognize employment of relatives can cause issues that may create a conflict of interest and we seek to minimize that possibility. As a result, relationships of mutual dependence and actual or perceived conflict of interests should be brought to the attention of Human Resources. Human Resources will review the nature of the reporting relationship and evaluate the associated risk as well as the business needs of Connection. If you feel you cannot discuss issues locally with Human Resources, please direct your concerns to the Director of Human Resources or Senior Vice President of Human Resources in our corporate office in Merrimack, NH. You are also welcome to engage the Vice President of Distribution in Wilmington, OH.
