Systemax Reviews

Pros

None at all - except that their sub Misco was sold, so now we see a light at the end fo the tunnel

Cons

Can't list them all would take ages, mate.

Pros

If you have good self marketing skills want to hang around doing nothing for years, this is the place for you.

Cons

No processes, no strategy, ad-hoc management. unreasonable expectations and lots of bad-bad decisions.

Pros

Good team that I work with. Was going good about back in early 2013.

Cons

Poor management decisions and still lacking good(if any) communication between departments. HR department is a joke.

Pros

Great place to work and the people there are great team players

Cons

too many changes.There was loads of staff redundancies and system change

Pros

Some amazingly talented people (or there were before they outsourced to Hungary and India), I have met and worked with a diverse and friendly bunch of very talented people during my time with Systemax.

Cons

Some amazingly incompetent or maybe just stubborn management that will follow through with a plan even when its clear to everyone around them and in some cases even themselves that its just a bad idea.

Pros

Great work colleagues, who are more than willing to pull together.

Cons

Entropic management systems, upward feedback is neither encouraged, asked for, or listened to. Communication, management issue decrees and do not foster an inclusive team. Archaic processes and procedures. No communication of expectations, appraisal process is a joke. No training plans, no encouragement to advance knowledge. Ideas plagiarised by management for their own advancement. The organisation is not mature enough to realise, that the 'quiet teams' are more productive, than the teams that are shouting and 'fire fighting' problems of their own making (lean six sigma).

Pros

Co-workers are very professional, and care about what they do.

Cons

Horrendous management; care only about bottom line; they do not care about building or developing long term employees. Loyalty means nothing to them - they "manage" by lay-offs. They "think" they are progressive and employee centric, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Do not believe any of the corporate line. Their behavior speaks volumes. They lay-off long term employees, and replace them with 6 figure executives, who care only about money. Honestly, I do not know how this place is still in business.
