Pros

- The partner company I worked alongside for my vertical was great to work with - My manager was friendly

Cons

- Communication from my management to direct reports was inconsistent and rare at best - Managers you did not report to have the power to make your experience at Connection very unenjoyable - Despite growing my business unit a substantial amount over quota I was not paid what I was owed when they let me go - Offices are very outdated and make you feel like you're in the 90s - Micro-managing and required you to clock in like a retail employee for an professional IT sales job - Senior management force non-revenue driving activities to be paid by partner vendors regardless of actual value to growing pipeline/opportunities - Open door policy is a joke, there's no sense of confidentiality or trust
