Tech Data Reviews

Pros

Td rewards (incentives, bonus) PTO, benefits package is decent Remote (temporary)

Cons

Low base pay Micromanagement High turnover Excessive amount of busy work Lack of transparency with company updates Outdated systems and management style In this job you pretty much act as the middle man between customers, vendors and management and there just isn’t enough time in the day to do it all but expect that you’ll get yelled at for not doing so. Raises are rarely given and you’re expected to do double the work than what you’re actually compensated. This company lost a lot of talent due to the excessive micromanagement of the higher ups and they’ll pretty much shame you if you intend to move out of sales. The turnover has increased significantly since the company shifted to remote due to COVID-19 and that’s due to the company’s outdated practices. If you don’t intend to make sales your life long career, I would suggest look elsewhere that will pay you better for what you’re worth.

Pros

You can meet some amazing people there. Great connections to vendors for promotion opportunities through leaving. With how challenging sustained success is here, you will develop strong organizational and business skills.

Cons

No sales methodology, no real CRM. No good training for sales. Certain departments (product marketing, Cisco, profit team) have too much arbitrary power over sales, often to bad short term results when in aggregate the decisions made by sales are fine. Comp plan is not competitive unless you're management. Insurance is overpriced, especially for a tech company. Additionally, there is little culture of a meritocracy at the company, it's more about how you play the game rather than doing the right thing. The ERP system is dangerously out of date, there is a culture of mediocrity in departments that are not customer facing. There is also a culture believing that sales makes too much money, has too many incentives when they adsorb the overwhelming majority of the risk in the organization.

Pros

- Pre-covid, my team and I worked from home twice a week - Work life balance fair, except for the end of the month - Lax company culture, first name basis - Teammates get along - $50 voucher from Uber Eats - My team and I get along well

Cons

I find it truly disappointing that Tech Data makes no effort to make any announcements or provides words of comfort regarding the recent Asian American attacks or Black Lives Matter movement. The company focuses on profit, mergers with Synnex, and Apollo's recent acquistion of the company. However, they overlook the opinions and feelings of their employees. Moral is at an all time low. Three of my co-workers resigned last year. And four this year, it's only March! The managers and higher ups need to focus more on customer satisfaction and employee retention. In addition, I have no received any sort of merit increase or promotion and I have been working here for two years already. Other companies would at least provide a merit increase at a minimum. I have also found out that the females and minorities on my team are getting paid less than their white male counterparts. That is a shame.

Pros

Fun environment (when in the office) Opportunity to earn extra money

Cons

Unrealistic expectations Underpaid role Prideful and disrespectful management Career development could be 0 or 10 depending on the region and team you are randomly placed on.

Cons

We are going through a merger so jobs security is lacking right now.

Awful pay, unrealistic expectations, not open to new ideas
