Ingram Micro Employee Reviews & Ratings

The company is always adapting to market demands.

Since going public, the company has steadily declined and now operates in an extremely toxic environment. The culture is dominated by excessive micromanagement at all levels—especially from executive directors—who interfere in every detail while deflecting blame for their own mistakes onto lower-level employees. There is no clear path for career growth or development, and communication across teams is virtually nonexistent. Employees are not aligned or working collaboratively—instead, it’s a culture of self-preservation where everyone is more focused on covering themselves than delivering quality work. Responsibility is routinely avoided, and finger-pointing is the norm. Most people are there just to collect a paycheck, with little engagement or motivation. Layoffs are handled without transparency or empathy. During the holidays, some employees were laid off without prior notice—they found out when their badges no longer worked upon arrival. Their desks were packed in front of colleagues, and boxes handed to them at the door. Additionally, employees are expected to work extensive unpaid overtime, sometimes exceeding 20 extra hours per week....This is not a joke, my manager works 70 hours a week and he is behind all the time. I have worked all Saturdays 4 months in row and that's what they expect.

Nothing that I faced during my time

Underpaid and do not have access to view obtainment in commission in cloud at Ingram micro. You do a lot of extra job roles while others who have the title don’t do as much as you.

- Poor WLB, depending on the team. Some teams need to get on meetings with on-shorre (U.S.) teams, which eats into your time out of office. - Not much scope for technical growth, which is to be expected from a business-driven company where tech is just a cost center.

Very bad upper management, talk about losing up. Extremely high turnover, many people did not last the first few days. Company has as a soulless and careless culture.

Nothing really to complain about

Location, Benefits, Promotion, Transportation and No retirement plans.

negative leadership does little to motivate

Low starting pay. May be difficult to move up due to a large number of employees and Infrequent pay raises.

I have nothing to say.

Low salary, low annual increase

There is no opportunity for growth, do not advise smart people to try change the company.

Salary lower than the average in the market

Politics is inevitable within the project.

In the group I was in, we were expected to be "available" to the job 24x7, regardless of family obligations, personal life needs, blizzards, etc. The IT infrastructure is a cluster (you know what!) with too many systems that can't communicate with each other which makes it extremely time consuming to produce all the reports required from sales reps. And be ready to drop everything to spend an entire day collecting data to generate a spontaneous report request from a middle or upper manager. Then you'll be criticized for having not spent time selling. Overall, 20% of my time was spent on actual sales-generating activities. The other 80% was dealing with internal report requests, pointless conference calls, training sessions that 50% of were a waste of my time, making excuses for why Ingram shipped incorrectly or didn't ship as promised, or a plethora of other operational mistakes largely due to the mess of an IT infrastructure or lack of accountability. I spent more time going to Buffalo for mostly useless meetings, presentations etc than I was allowed to spend with my customers! Customers only bring revenue you know. Without exception, all my customers frequently commented that they wanted to see me more than once per quarter, but my manager wouldn't allow that. Tech Data filled the gap. Poor management by inexperienced or unqualified personnel costs sales. Too much time is spent on "reactive" rather than "proactive" activities. Customer issues come out of sales commissions. Issues that occurred before I was even employed at Ingram were resolved by crediting the customer and taking money from my commissions. I'm not sure that's even legal, but it happened. Probably still does.

The customer is way to engaged. Some of the people above managers aren't the most trustworthy. Can literally lie to your face, with a smile.

For the size of the organization, they could use more structure in many aspects of the business. Coming from a sizeable, private organization, with processes being very black and white, Ingram has a lot of grey. Streamlining processes help in the training process, retention and make employees feel like they know what to expect, although I do appreciate the case by case, but everything doesn't need to be done that way.

Bad management, unfair treatments to junior associates

Major layouts, lack of company culture

it takes too much time to leave the building because of the security bad management

The usual large company politics

Too much process. Process takes longer as there are compliance.

no known downside at this point

The salary is a bit low

Repetitive work, Average compensation, hierarchical

can be boring and repetetive tasks

- Non-sense pressure, everything for yesterday - Release everything, don't worry about quality checks - Every year a huge amount of people is fired. Then hired, then fired... - Everyone will be replaced by somebody in a lower cost country

overall direction of the business is murky

Nothing. All is good with this company.

Inconsistent partners to work with

Depth trying to avoid being relatwd

pls don't spoil your carrier by joining Ingram Chennai. For getting incentives sales team will treat you like a slave. 3 persons work will be done by a single person. Daily you need to work for 10 hrs Friday- 12 hrs

low salary and long working hours

Pay inconsistent from time to time

In house Projects , Nuthing much

Not very organized, work life balance is non existent. Expectations are for you to work all hours.

Frequent changes at upper management and executive levels breaks confidence in the state of the company

They hire and if you don't walk on water you are gone - one manager there told me we hire and if they can't do the job to what we expect we fire and hire another. So they don't really care about your long term career unless you are part of the inner circle of popular folks - lots of cliquey politics as well - not an environment you can feel safe in if you are not one of in folks

Zero employee satisfaction and employee engagement

No room for growth, can be stuck in a position for years

Management is outdated and slow

- Low salary / almost no salary increase over time. - No Career plan or promotion plan - Constant state of crunch with the expectation of long hours - Employees are contacted after hours, weekends, and holidays, - Leadership worries about delivery with no care for people - Very bad environment in the office

Ingram is a very large company and because of this, understanding of strategy and business objections gets lost and makes it challenging to make decisions. Organization is very siloed making cross-team collaboration challenging.

N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

Cost is going up each year, multiple mixes can get confusing

Push push and learn everyday

The most unprofessional interview process I have ever been a part of in my life.

Need to work on response times

Management changes (based on who knew who) layoffs, politics, some shady dealings.
