One of the worse places to work, ever!

Pros

After a few months of employment, it became clear there really aren't any pros with this company in its current state.

Cons

Datalink pays no salary to it's sales people. Sales people are paid via commissions only. Then, they don't pay commissions until 30 days after the company gets paid. It can take 6 months to a year for an employee to get paid, and that's if you're lucky. Datalink forces all sales people to sign an employment contract that allows the company to refuse to pay commissions if they so choose. They regularly refuse to pay employees commissions earned and then use these millions of dollars of profit to improve their bottom line prior to reporting their numbers.

Pros

Pay was higher than average for entry-level. Introduction to enterprise solutions.

Cons

Send you to training for a week, then expect you to know everything. There is no help for new hires. You have to do support over phone; there is not remote support. Constant boredom driven by frustration. Internal culture is terrible; employees complained about how bad it was on my first day. One-call is not a real support solution. Nobody cares. Nobody had any actual interest in technology.

Needs a lot of Restructuring

Pros

- People you work with are usually fun and engaging - Almost unlimited expense budget - Good pay

Cons

Datalink needs a lot of restructuring to succeed in today's world. A lot of the company is a lot of talk with no action so if you can convince them you are worth their time, you have a rather good paycheck with minimal effort. The bosses are focused on old technology and do not have interest in adapting to the modern infrastructure. If they truly want to succeed and be a good company in the technology industry, the whole management, including CEO, needs to change his way of thinking and adapt to change better. Unless you are a lazy worker, I would not recommend this company to you as you will get much more out of your work elsewhere.
