CompUSA reviews about "manager"

Everything. Pay, Environment, Benefits, everything is ridiculously low or down right insulting. The absolute worst part is the environment, just walk in to any store and talk with more than a few people, everyone hates their job, are looking for something else and management doesn't care. The negative attitude rolls down hill. Corporate treats their employees like slaves, DMs treat their stores the prisons, Managers treat their employees like dogs, etc.

sales pressure from upper management, customer and employee theft

battles over warranty sales with sales associates

Working at the customer service desk is one of the most difficult and demanding jobs in retail, especially since at CompUSA it involves being part of the service/repair department. In the 6.5 years I worked the position, I was the ONLY employee who lasted more than about 9 months at the desk; everyone else either quit or requested transfer to another department. Yet the position was paid such a low hourly wage that medical benefits were unaffordable - a large part of the reason why so few people were willing to keep doing the job. The pay structure was set by corporate policy, and was not under the control of the store manager. My manager was only able to finagle a sustainable wage for me by having me temporarily work in a different, more highly-paid position for 3 months, then transferring me back.

Dealing with people and customers. Managers showed favoritism.

the sales guys i work with are the best. Managers are quite condecending and have little experience with understanding the heartbeat of customers and the process of getting a sale. Too many dropped commissions. They take away sales for the smallest reason. Feel like i'm working like a dog for very meager compensation.ownsides of working at CompUSA.

From the (Former) CEO down to VP's, DM's the mgmt style was manager by threats and fear. Over working salaried managers to the extent of 80plus hours a week. Very little praise, positive recognition nor raises. Then they bring in a former Circuit City Business Manager of New Concept as a VP for Business Development. She ends up bring in a ton of old CC managers to slowly replace store managers. I was one of the last to go out (left on my own did not get fired) in S Fla as I actually ran a good store with solid results that to this day havent seen again but since it was way more about politics than performance. Since then all the CC managers (that were hand picked by old CC VP) has been fired or quit before getting fired for varies performance issues
