Ingram Content Group Reviews

Pros

Inclusive, friendly work environment Interesting and challenging work Competitive pay and benefits Don't have to fight traffic like in a downtown environment

Cons

I can't think of anything. If I have to work, this is a great place to be.

Pros

Great team to work with. Experienced, Reliable, and Relatable co-workers.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect of Upper Management to the rest of the employees. Surveys completed by employees showed they approved and functioned well under WFH and Hybrid scheduling. Many employees actually worked more than the required 8 hours a day by choice. #1- Many wanted to prove their trust in us wasn't misplaced; #2- No commute to and from the office allowed more time for a good work/life balance (which they constantly say is important) and most were CONTENT with this arrangement; #3- Even though the pandemic years were an anomaly, this company had positive sales numbers. And 2020/half of 2021 were ENTIRELY remote for many in the company. Now UM have taken the one real benefit left. It's only a matter of time before the 1 day some employees have WFH will be taken away because UM feel in-person collaboration is so important, completely ignoring the fact many departments collaborate online- it's what works best for them. Middle management struggles to fill positions because of housing/rent costs not being equitable to what is offered as salary/pay rate. The average commute is 30-45 minutes on a good day with many employees not traveling during peak commuter times. And the sad thing is- previous employees have made company managers aware of these main issues (there are many more) and no changes for the better have been initiated! The carrot used to encourage has effectively been removed. Good job!

Pros

Hybrid flexible work schedule…. NOT! Only for a limited time! They hired people on telling them they could have a hybrid role and choose their schedule. But then stripped them away of it without a reasoning or warning. Some people were hired and they didn’t even get 3 months with what was promised. They demanded everyone be in office even though their recruitment ads still say hybrid.

Cons

Demanded everyone come back to the office and eliminated hybrid work schedule without any updates salary, benefits, flexible hours, etc. They had a company wide video call to tell everyone how amazing their 2022 was and look forward to continuing that momentum in 2023. Two days later in an email they told everyone they will be no longer allowed to work remote. Zero explanation. No heads up when the Presidents and CEO had a presentation addressing the company. No apology. Salary is low and they say your subject for a raise every year but be happy with less than 1%. With no work flexibility or remote schedules the pay is not worth it. No upward mobility because they claim you won’t have the skill sets since they only allow you to work your job and not develop within the company. Even if someone quits, they will look to hire externally. They hire people content in their position they’re hired into. Not someone wanting to grow.

Pros

My direct lead and supervisor were awesome, as was most of the team I worked with

Cons

The company absolutely does not care about their employees and they will use every available chance at their disposal to show that. Low pay in my field compared to other jobs (I was able to get 4 job offers, all paying over $5/hr more within the span of a week). Little advancement chances. Upper management is as out-of-touch as they come and they use the HR department to handcuff those who want to make positive changes to help their workers

Pros

Benefits, 401K match. Many projects to work on.

Cons

Hybrid work environment should be 100% remote.

Pros

I have 38 years of service with Ingram. I have been in multiple positions over the years. Started with the company while I was still in High School in the warehouse and have been given multiple opportunities for career development and advancement allowing me to continue to add to my resume and develop with continued education.

Cons

Be more acceptable to the changing needs of their employees for flexibility in our changing times since more and more company's now are WFH since we proved we could do this and be productive. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining as we are only required to come to the office 3 days a week with 2 days WFH and in most areas you are able to pick your days you are in the office, and there is flexibility to change these days as needed. I think this would reduce the turnover rate that we are currently seeing.

Pros

Company plays huge role inside the book industry, and truly is investing in our distribution facilities, so we will be around for a long time

Cons

Volume is down since the Covid surge.

Pros

Yearly bonus and hybrid work from home. Rarely required to work after-hours or on weekends.

Cons

Hybrid work from home is now 2 days a week after working remotely full time during the pandemic. We have lost several good employees because upper management thought that we needed everyone in the office to look good however we still continue to do 80% of our meetings in Teams even while in the office. Upper management is too disconnected from employees to realize where the real problems reside.

Pros

Engaging culture, innovative, ethical, cool industry with interesting challenges and projects

Cons

The cons are not really worth mentioning.

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Company is rather rigid, and sometimes didn’t seem to have every employee’s best interest at heart.
