Pros

Extensive vendor list to resell from. Flexible home office work schedule. Many nice people to work with

Cons

More of a commodity reseller. Too much focus on selling to Purchasing department and competing with low margin. Lack the depth of technical expertise to be a strong competitor in the data center space.

We agree with your comments regarding our work environment. However, we are not a commodity business. We solve business problems using a complex mix of hardware, software, services, and intellectual knowledge. Our salespeople help bring to market our plethora of resources to delight our clients and solve business issues. The Company has invested more technical resources to execute against our role as a National Solutions Provider. We have increased headcount 10% in our Technology Solutions Group companywide, year over year, as well as investing in a Technical Sales Executive Sales organization in 2015.
