What don't you like about working at Ingram Micro?

"Pay/compensation kept getting worse every year. Bonuses and commissions were almost non-existent for the sales department, which made it very hard to earn a decent living wage any more. Very low pay for the amount of stress endured. Healthcare plan is terrible and keeps getting worse every year! Promotional path within sales department is no longer there so there is basically no incentive. Unless you are a manger's pet, your work accomplishments will never get noticed. The company tends to way overpay management (middle and upper) and it seemed that every time the sales department was restructured, the sales people always took the hit in pay hardest and management was hardly effected, if any. Such an unbalance. Job security is a very big factor now. It shows in the morale of most departments. The company continues to outsource in all areas and wonders why customers constantly complain about their service. (No relationships any more.) They have lost a great deal of talented and knowledgeable people over the years and keep replacing with younger, inexperienced people that for the most part do not take their job seriously and have no clue how to establish a relationship with businesses. Company just got too greedy and unfortunately the employees are suffering for it."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Respect and fairly compensate your employees, and try to hold on to your best talent before it's completely gone. Outsourcing cheap labor is not the answer to saving this company! This company was at the TOP once and it was not due to any practices that are going on now."
