Vantaggi
I am part of the Legacy Avnet team who has survived the Tech Data layoffs. Avnet was more of a family environment with a lot of little niceties that just made it feel like home. Tech Data stepped in and all of a sudden the entire office atmosphere changed. Now it's no longer going into the office and greeting your co-workers and colleagues, is going in seeing them and saying you made it in reference to the last round of layoffs. Despite this, I continue to work there because I like my job and I absolutely love my customer. The customer makes it all worth it. Not sure what I would do if they tried to move me to a different team.
Svantaggi
Tech Data consistently lays off entire Departments of people without telling you who to go to for what in their absence and creates the same positions in Guadalajara Mexico. They are taking jobs out of the US and moving them abroad.
