Pros

Excellent technical knowledge of peers. Highly co-operative environment. Some very long serving employees.

Cons

Very numbers focussed. Despite "IKITE" there has been a steady shift away from providing great service onto continuously closing deals. Individuals are rarely praised for going beyond the call of duty. The company has made numerous layoffs in the past 12 months. They've also stopped contributing to employees pension fund. Finally, with the imminent takeover by AVNet, people are becoming highly self protecting at the expense of the business.

Pros

Good entry level PC tech position and pay

Cons

The company cares more about quantity over quality of work; so much so that they rip you for being slow even when its not busy? Leads and managers are under qualified and somewhat unprofessional. Also very poor training; I've learned everything by myself and from a temp?
