I believed this experience would be so promising after having a great time in an entry-level recruitment program. Unfortunately, the most predatory "manager" intercepted me for his own personal benefit. There was good reason that he needed to deceive an external hire into working for him. In typical sociopathic style, he "love-bombed" me (compliments, flattery, studying what I liked and mirroring it back to me) to get me to agree to working for him and feel comfortable at first to have my guard down. There was no other team at the site, just me and him. I soon noticed troubling things, inconsistencies and unpredictabilities. He would say he wouldn't mind me doing this or that (attending events, meeting with colleagues), but then when it came down to actually doing it, or even "asking for permission" first, he would guilt trip and gaslight me over everything. He seemed so angry and jealous any time I tried to spend time working on anything else that wasn't just obsessing over his egomania with him. It was also very concerning that he seemed most interested in questioning me about my personal life, and not really being direct in telling my what my actual job or work was.  He seemed to assign me random side projects that had nothing to do with the organization's goals, but were just reasons to be able to corner me privately and tell me what a human failure I was.  He also tried to heavily prioritize me working out at the onsite gym, then kept trying to "bump into me" over there, and even had made a big deal about what I wore on Fridays as "too professional" because I had opted not to wear shorts. Then the VP he felt most protected by had left to go to a competitor company. This was when he quickly began to unravel and the abuse and anger really heightened.  He would try to entrap me alone with him in his office specifically to talk down to me, attempt to scare me (lol, catch me outside of your precious office anywhere else, son), belittle me, basically anything he could do to help himself feel more powerful.  I resisted and stood my ground because I know what is right and professional; he was neither. One day he out of nowhere claimed that he did not feel comfortable talking to me without HR in the room, which was all just a BS ploy to get ME to go to HR and look like a complainant against him so that the newly appointed VP (who previously liked me) would be hesitant of me. It worked. During the case, he love-bombed, seduced, and manipulated the HR/ERC investigator who, when it was all said and done, basically just shamed me for coming forward, and talked to me just like him, like his puppet that he had programmed. Don't work here. It's awful. If you look around long enough past the smiling facades, you will see all the oppressive energy. Go anywhere else. [The CEO and several senior leaders are actually great, but they unfortunately trust in their power hungry managers much more than they should.]

For such a large company Tech Data especially the LATAM Miami office is a complete, disorganized mess.

The compensation is absolutely terrible and they are known for underpaying and mistreating employees compared to every other company in the industry.

They frequently layoff or fire employees for reasons such as "we were paying them to much, let's fire them and hire someone brand new off the street who we can pay way less" even though these are well performing employees that have been with the company for a few years. 

Except for their newest manager it's a fair assessment to say that management is superbly incompetent and uncaring about their workers. Don't except a promotion, or raise, or any kind of feedback or reward for doing good work.

Never expect any kind of coaching, feedback, or guidance or direction, or any kind of viable training or mentorship, here in this company it simply doesn't exist, you are just another replaceable worker bee filling a seat.

Don't expect to be able to work from home or work remotely, they don't trust any of their employees enough to do this.

Expect apathy, and complete oversight unless there's a problem, then suddenly it's all YOUR fault and has somehow been YOUR fault all along (you're a convenient scapegoat for when things go wrong, it's not management, you are the problem).

The company refuses to spend money on the IT budget so don't expect any type of CRM system, or anything other than ancient computers and a terrible antiquated unreliable phone system.

Tech Data is a revolving door, a people mill that uses you, underpays you, chews you up and spits you out.

Do a quick survey of 91% of the people working there and you'll quickly learn that most of them have been there for 2 years or less, and talk to them in private and they'll tell you they are unhappy and actively looking for other jobs.

Don't waste your precious time with this company, and if you do accept one of their offers know that they WILL lie to you during the interview about the role and it's responsibilities and after you're hired you will learn the horrible truth.

The sales floor appears to have lost its way compared to all other departments. A lot more seasoned employees are quitting or moving on.  Unless you are placed on a "lucky" team, then you are more than likely going to deal with a toxic work environment. Management shows obvious favoritism. It is a numbers crunching game where skills such us organization or creativity will get abused but not recognized. I wouldn't let any supervisors know about health problems (physical or mental), because it gets taken advantage of or spread around the office. I saw a handful of team members leave because they felt unsafe about their privacy and told to poor work first.  There is often lots of free food and training available,  but sales teams will pressure you to skip break or not take advantage of the opportunities around you because it's a team over personal development mindset. Make sure NOBODY finds out if you want to switch to a different department. Management might tell you that they support internal transfers,  but many people feel pressured to leave for a new job because there is a 1.5 year requirement. Workers get treated differently if they don't show blind loyalty to sales.  There is also a trend of pushing good workers to internal positions that may not use their skillsets efficiently only to lock them down in the department longer.  If anyone has watched as many Ted Talks as I have, my advice is to be very, very cautious if you are a Giver. People who are Takers or Matchers will move up quicker and be rewarded much better. The company has not figured out how to pinpoint their key people who value quality over quantity. If you can scam or fluff your productivity numbers (which isn't difficult if you find the right tools or master certain vendors), then you are golden. It's a little disappointing knowing this is the future the company is going towards which will leave their processes even more stagnant and behind the times ...

I was brought on as a contractor after moving to the area from out of state and was thoroughly unimpressed and disappointed with the lack of structure and competence in the management. There was no cohesion between Software Development "factions" or the business, there was no real training to speak of, no clear path or direction in which to take but a plethora of political maneuvering and a highly toxic company culture. I was very disappointed that the position I was hired for did not turn out to be at all as advertised. I knew things were going to go back when one Project Manager "intercepted" me as her direct report "on a whim" after 2 other new hires were to start on the same day, but never showed and I was alone. Later I discovered that there were initially 3 other people that we scheduled to start on 3 different dates but had either went back to their old jobs or had moved on to other positions due to being misled about their start dates. This occurred to me after weeks of discussion with my expected Supervisor just because she was favored the department head. Despite this, I still tried to make the best of what opportunity I had, though once my newly assigned PM asked me "Can't you just mix the dot Nets and the PHPs together?" I knew that I had very little chance of success. My contract was rescinded the same week I stuck up for myself and my professional integrity. This is not a great place for developers to work. I suggest that Tech Data outsource their development efforts to a more capable and competent B2B technology partner as they do with most other products.

Executives should really listen to lower level employees input on mid-level mgt. Show loyalty to long term employees, improve HR, let job rotation be optional, STOP promoting low level employees to mgt with no mgt exp or people skills. Promote based on job performance and longevity not based off being the mgts favorite person on the team. Respect, Respect Respect goes a long way. Let lower level employees decide what the CMI should be based off of mgt's performance this might improve how mid-level mgt treats their team.

Tech Data's accounting department is a  dodo chute. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy. Training is terrible and often help is given by disgruntled, underpaid, and overworked employees. Down sizing is a thing and you will be cut if Tech Data does not reach its yearly projections. This develops a culture of knowledge hoarders who aren't interested in sharing for fear of job loss to a more capable mind. If you are interested in pestering fellow co-workers, you might excel here, but you still won't be compensated. The place encourages a lack of communication among team members by allowing employees to wear headphones (enjoy your sound of silence). Wear lots of cologne because this usually awakens the zombies that work around you. However, they will not talk to you, only fellow zombies who too were awaken by your pleasant aroma (I recommend wet dog if you want to appease those sitting in your cell block). Be sure to greet those around you because even though they have been there for 20 plus years they will likely not say a word to a new face. In all seriousness, management is not that great. The managers are nice and all, but don't expect any great leaders to be leading you in their charge. If you can, work anywhere else, I mean literally anywhere.

The employees and environment at tech data is relaxed . Employees here are very helpful and friendly. This is a typical nine to 5 corporate job with little advancement.  There was little to no training and unrealistic expectations were held when getting the work done. The management is horrible. The manager is never in office and always hard to reach. I would request a PTO day 2 months in advance and i wouldn't hear back until the day before. The manager would delegate her work last minute onto the team forcing them to stay an extra 2-3 hours to get it done and it had nothing to do with their job role.  Also, the manager had no clue what we actually did on a day to day basis so they were never able to help out. When we had team meetings all we went over was numbers for that quarter and what our next goal was, no real issues were being talked about or how improvements could be made. The management was so minimal that the team would do whatever they wanted, people would just disappear for hours, call in sick all the time, and not work but be paid. No one was held accountable and some were blamed/ disciplined for no reason or evidence to back up the accusations. I would not recommend working here.

This is all my opinion,and over all it's not that bad compared to other warehouses .But will say this Depending on what department you are in, you will be asked to support your department and the other as well . Mandatory overtime at the end of the month every month.  Not often but you might have to work weekends as well.. Their is room for advancement such as management positions, however,  since it is  internalized it often goes to Associates with seniority, as in any other Warehouse setting.  rather than those who are qualified. Thing seemed to be getting better as I was leaving,  their  always room for improvement,  yet management needs to be trained better my personal opinion.  For example in empathy and time management issues,  as well as leave personal biases or issues when making decisions.  The work isn't overwhelming and will always train you beforehand  ,whether it's learning to use the equipment or scanners the standards[rules ].  You are on production  but as long as you're on task it is not really a issue.  Over all its meh.

They say one thing and do a completely different other thing. It's like living in office space. And the benefits are a joke!!! For instance it takes two years to be vested in the 401K, There are no sick days...you have occurrences...If you have more than six you get written up. Even with a dr's note. I had that really bad flu that was going around and had to stay home for a week and got written up.Even when I showed a doctors note and my prescription. The dental plan is a rip off, they won't cover major work (nd they decide whats major) for a year. But you still pay the same ammount, as you would if they did.I had a root canal and a deep cleaning, it cost me out of pocket 1,500.00 dollars. They wouldn't even cover my teeth cleaning, because they considered it periodontal work. They won't cover anything to do with your gums for a year. Again you still pay the same price as if they did cover you. 
 The reason they do that is because there is such a high turn-around there. I believed their B.S and now I'm stuck...until something else pops up...then I'm jumping ship. The girl on my team gave exactly 8hrs notice. If I find something else that's what i'll do.

Tech Data/TD SYNNEX - No clear vision, poor decisions by leadership result in cutting off resources to support customers, resulting in very angry customers with no support from management. Overworked and underpaid, if you’re a top performer your reward is more work to bridge the gap of under performers who somehow remain employees. Leadership only cares about getting their bonuses, always laying people off and expecting those who remain to fill the void. Doing the work of 2-3 people, then they give you a hard time when you’re burned out and need to take time so you don’t end up in the hospital. This place is a living nightmare. No training, onboarding is a joke, figure it out as you go. It’s insane that this is a $5B technology company that doesn’t have adequate technology or tools to do your job. They can’t even measure SLAs. How can you manage if you’re not even measuring what you are contractually obligated to provide? This place is a joke. Don’t waste your time, you’ll set your career back to the dark ages.
