Tech Data Reviews

I worked at Tech Data

Pros – Involvement in cutting edge technology via vendors. Involvement in a global organisation. Working in a very competitive commercial operation encourages you to be imaginative in solutions.

Cons – Cost is always an issue when looking at solutions. Constant reinventing the wheel because a lack of investment in the IT infrastructure mean the same problems occur repeatedly but there is no capital investment for a permanent solution.

Advice to Senior Management – Understand the capabilities of the internal IT team and utilise them effectively. Invest in the infrastructure to allow the IT professionals to have the opportunity to develop in a role.

I have been working at Tech Data full-time for less than a year

Pros – So far the company has held true to their promise of work/life balance for their hourly employees.

Cons – The company isn't doing great economically and the morale of the company is very low. Senior management still gets bonuses this year while all other employees who had a rough year changing systems get nothing in return.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Tech Data full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The role depends on the line you're on. Some are more high call volume than others. I didn't have high call volumes, but a lots of orders. The pay is fair. Management also depends on what line you are on.

Cons – Advancement is difficult, and sometimes you get stuck on a team. End of quarter, you are expected to stay VERY late, sometimes past 1am, and also be expected to come in at your same time the next day.

Advice to Senior Management – Do more frequent reviews and have more structured guidlines.

I worked at Tech Data full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Benefits start from day one. Good infrastructure as opposed to other business in the Tampa Bay area.

Cons – They know they have a good infrastructure compared to other companies in the Tampa Bay area. Because they are "Self aware,",they think they have your ass over a barrel.

Advice to Senior Management – They won't listen. You open your mouth and offer advice they see that as a threat and you will be put on a plan that is impossible to get off. You can perform your job perfectly and follow a plan verbatim and they will still fire you. I was not fired but I saw this done. The management are cowards and crooks.
