Pros

Large company in Denver area. Large market share in electronic distribution space.

Cons

Where to begin? Many, many self-inflicted problems. C-Suite drastically overpaid for what they do (they take this out in paying everyone else less than deserved). Investors are starting to notice; board hasn't caught onto this yet, but talent drain is astounding. Hyper-political, never seen any company like this; those who play the "game" well are rewarded; top performers are not.

Pros

Relaxed work environment, it's just distribution, BUT.... BUT..... everyone is skating by until the division take a tank because it's not really a sales organization because the sales team doesn't really "SELL" anything... it's more of a program and customer service team, yet quotas and sales goals are assigned and leveraged plans are used as money grab by desperate leadership trying to save their bottom line performance. It's quite the circus their lately... titanic at best, slowly sinking... writing is on the walls. Avoid joining now, because you wouldn't buy a stock as it's crashing, would you?

Cons

Terrible leadership, no upward mobility, they claim people are their best assets but that's not true. Pompous and stagnant/stale leadership. All VPs and above have been there for 20+ years, no fresh perspectives, like a bunch of people in a room with their own farts, can't smell how bad it's become. Sales team is on a major decline and there are desperate money grabs through compensation cuts and adjustments. Don't join ECS if you want a healthy career.

Pros

Proximity to I-25. Cafeteria and gym are adequate when open. HSA and 401K plans are decent.

Cons

Merit increases (which are effectively cost of living increases most years) did not happen in 2020 due to COVID-19 (as of July). However, employees are currently expected to come into the office every other week despite most if not all corporate jobs being doable remotely. Management’s response from the beginning has essentially been reactive, requiring remote work only at the very last second when it was mandated by the Governor. It shows that they do not really care about employees’ well being. Profit > people. In the handful of years during my employment, not once did we have a fire drill during working hours. Think about that for a second.
