Profit before the employee

Pros

Higher PTO than industry average. Benefits solidly "average", but types of benefits are comprehensive. A number of corporate partner discounts available for employees. Fairly extensive online training resources for employees for things like certifications.

Cons

If you're a temp-to-hire employee you get nothing from the listed Pros at all until you're hired. Chances of being hired out of temp-to-hire fairly low. Base pay is low-to-average; non-advancement raises or annual bonuses after you're hired are nonexistent(a new reason is cited every year, guess-the-reason is something of an internal office game). Depending on the contract you are hired into, training in specific client systems may be scant. Company is deathly afraid of overtime pay, so if you're hourly you're highly unlikely to get overtime, however if you're salaried you better believe they know they don't have to pay you overtime.

Complexity and New Leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

Skills such as 'Problem Solving' and 'Effective Communication' are perhaps more effectively honed when faced with challenges. The multi-line of business complexity, limited job-specific training, and a 'do-it-yourself' approach to IT needs presents managers and their employees with opportunities for being resourceful. The culture benefits the self-led.

Cons

- Not a routine precedence to promote from within. - Owned by a Private Equity firm that has addressed business capital needs at a measured pace. - Unstable leadership; recurring turn over at the top (Executive and Senior Leadership). 'Trickle Down Effect' of 'Tone at the Top' has impact across the organization. Changing the tone, while sometimes a vital necessity, can deflate morale, foster job uncertainty, and result in re-work (to suit new mgmt's needs/preferences).

Pros

If you have a heartbeat you can get a job at CompuCom. Good place to start a career and learn skills

Cons

If you have a heartbeat you can get a job at CompuCom. No company culture for retaining top talent. Pay raises pretty much non-existent since 2007. Most managers are hired from outside of the company which leaves very little room for upward mobility. If you are fortunate enough to be promoted to management, you are stuck dealing with underpaid and under-motivated people. Get in, get experience, get out.
