Pros

Intelligent people. Tenured sales teams.

Cons

Outdates business processes throughout the company. Many have been with the company a long time and are blind to how far behind Connection is in using technology to increase efficiencies. In fact business processes are so outdated it is embarrassing. An example being using a Microsoft Word template for travel and emailing for for approval. 15 years ago I was doing this on an intranet. We have to front all expenses when traveling using our personal credit cards.

In order to remain competitive from a business and talent acquisition perspective, it is critical to implement strategies to afford opportunities to thrive. You are spot on that we are surrounded by intelligent colleagues which provides a robust landscape to create efficiencies in our business practices. While we celebrate our decade average tenure, those with less tenure are on equal footing and have impactful contributions. 2018 will see new tools and processes so employees will work smarter and not harder. We are vested in providing our employees with the resources so employees can be effective in their respective positions. The current travel policy allows employees an opportunity to take advantage of the perks offered by credit card companies when they elect to use their personal lines of credit. Our expense reimbursement application affords employees swift replenishment given timely submission of expense reports. We value and celebrate our employees' contributions. As an example, Connection was pleased to disburse a $1,000 bonus for 2017 performance earlier this month. Trust that your contributions are recognized and contribute to our success.
