Pros

They give you a base, but retrack $5,000.00 of it after 2 years

Cons

Company does not train very well. Scattered training. Supervisors have their pets and everyone else suffers. They don't care about you and your career growth only that you bring revenue into the pot. They are there for the dollars and they under mind anyone who challenges their authority. HR doesn't seem to get involved in the high turnover, so that makes me wonder where they stand. Management also has their picks. Very unorganized company!!!

Business Solutions and Public Sector Solutions Account Manager offers of employment have three components to the compensation: base salary, bonus and commissions/ spiffs. The base salary remains intact during the course of one’s employment in their respective segment. While management reserves the right to modify compensation plans with advanced notice, currently, there is no draw associated with compensation structure for account managers. Connection University is highly regarded internally and on social platforms, such as Glassdoor, so we are taken aback regarding your comment to the contrary about the company training initiatives. Blatant favoritism has no place in the workplace. You are encouraged to reach out to your HR business partner to review the particulars of your situation. HR and Sales Management are well aware of the cost of turnover inclusive of the ramifications to the employee population. To that end, a task force compromised of executive and middle management from HR, Sales and Training meet regularly to develop and execute strategies to improve employee retention. HR supports an environment that fosters well-being with an emphasis on positive morale and employee satisfaction. In order to have a robust employee population, it’s important to diversify versus simply hiring individuals with an IT background. Many account managers without an IT background have become very successful in our sales organization. System enhancements are under way which will improve efficiencies in the sales process. Our humble advice, stay engaged with Connection. We are invested in you!
