Pros

They pay for your certifications.

Cons

Training is generalized and rushed. It doesn't prepare you for your job. Employees come last as there is no pay increase. Your activities are constantly monitored and breaks and lunch are determined by an automated system that changes every day and sometimes has you going on break an hour after coming to work or lunch two hours before the end of shift. The software used as support for the clients is out of date and the open door policy rejects new ideas even if it is part of modern technology best practices. You are asked to adhere to certain procedures using given software even when it is reported the software is not working properly. You get penalized for not doing something the software can't do because it is old. Security is an issue as they use older versions of Internet Explorer and java tjat are known threats and vulnerability issues but does not address this with clients even when the solution is free.

Pros

They do a great job at providing training materials and access to most major certifications. The only problem is when field employees train the time is not looked on favorably by those living off of spreadsheet reporting dynamics.

Cons

Where to start? Working for CompuCom means never having job security. When the company signs on new business they massively hire until the contracts change at which time massive layoffs occur. There is no such thing as stable long term employment with CompuCom. No opportunities for advancement or wage increases. CompuCom is what one would term a complete "spreadsheet" driven company. Very little reliance on human capital with a ridiculous reliance on reporting every movement and action by employees with all decisions being made several levels above any interaction with actual technicians. Lastly, CompuCom has one of the lowest pay scales among leading IT companies in the nation and wage increases are rare. As an employee of CompuCom you are nothing but an employee number on one of a thousand spreadsheet reports upper management runs on an hourly basis to criticize every movement field technicians make. The reporting standards contradict each other meaning there is no chance to actually satisfy the standards one is given. There is absolutely zero focus on end user satisfaction vs. profit margins for upper management or investment firms.

Pros

I can't speak for the rest of them but I have a great team in my area. We all help one another if we are able. There is a certain sense of freedom in not having someone looking over your shoulder constantly.

Cons

Where do I start? Upper management is a joke, this company has been bought and sold about ten times in the past three years by different investment firms looking to turn a quick buck. From my understanding this used to be a legitimate IT company, not anymore. No such thing as actual training, they teach you to manage cases, to log your time and mileage, then throw you to the wolves. If you have questions call the help desk. Pay is bottom of the barrel for this type of work, no bonuses and no real incentives. It seems like no matter how good of a job you do or how far above and beyond you go there will be something somewhere that you probably weren't even told about that you will catch flak for.
