TESSCO reviews about "training"

compensation plans need major overhauls no cost of living increases

Had to commute to the office

low sales salary, lot of changes constantly

I would like to see more cross training. There are a lot of gaps and questions that could be answered with simple 1 hour sit downs within the different departments. Have CT sit with CSR and vice versa. I am sure a lot of common questions would be answered and ease a lot of the stress we are under each day.

. Very often there was a disparity in workload across the team I was involved with, where some would do SIGNIFICANTLY less work than others - Leadership had analytics to draw from and could clearly see this, but no action was ever taken that resulted in the problem being fixed . After receiving a good yearly performance review and having assurances from leadership /CEO that there was no need to worry about Tessco's recent merger, they proceeded to (with no warning) fire me and a large portion of their staff, with no notices being given before simply having a random meeting with your organization leader scheduled, where the news was given that you no longer work for the company . Training is abysmal, essentially you are dropped into your relevant position with barely an idea of what you are to be doing and told "to reach out if you have questions" . Management takes excessive vacations - Teams were often left without a leader for Week/Weeks because their leader had left on vacation . Unclear team expectations - Extremely big issue when starting out, but as well as later into my tenure with the company. The expectations of what you and your team were required to do, especially on an individual level were not laid out adequately . Stressful work environment - Very often, people from the company (predominantly sales related roles) would pressure you into rushing through work or taking on more work than you could handle, in order for them to get credit for some large sale/project. Very often the sales related roles were the only teams in the company which were ever given any accolades/shoutouts during company wide meetings, all other teams felt like an after thought

A lot of turnaround in certain departments. Poor pay and compensation. Lack of incentives

Constant changes in management, invested too much into new software, training is impossible

Too much politics and no increment at all

- Software was extremely dated, making simple tasks complicated. (They did update this eventually). - They went through several owners and CEOs and sold parts of the company over the time I was there. Each time caused a messy shift in operations, department organization, etc. They laid off many people without fully understanding the roles they played and nuances involved.
