Getronics purchased Pomeroy and immediately started dismantling the Pomeroy brand and the fabric upon which is was built. Was Pomeroy perfect, no, BUT it was much better than Getronics. Getronics was touted to employees as a growing and solid IT services company and the hope was that they would merge and fill some of the areas that Pomeroy lacked. This has not been the case. Getronics has very poor management that believes that the customer is no more than a pawn. That profits, not reliable solutions, will allow them to prosper and grow in the saturated US market. Management does not engage with all of its branches nor does it visit its locations to learn about the current environment as well as the strengths and weaknesses. Its like a Ponzi scheme gone bad! The company is a complete mess and is on credit hold with all of its distributors. Payroll can barely be made for both the US and International branches and the company is doomed for failure.
