Pros

Hours were decent and the schedules were accommodating. The Easy Tech Bonuses were sometimes really good. Managers were very supportive and recognized if you did a good job.

Cons

Forced to sell a number of "Staples" Warranty Plans. Were constantly scrutinized if you could not achieve that goal. It gets stressful to work in an environment where your job performance is threatened by the number of unnecessary plans you have sold. Training should be improved. Not everything can be learned by reading an online module. A lot of the common knowledge that should have been known was never taught nor mentioned by the managers. There was always only one Easy Tech associate per shift. This resulted in very stressful shifts because most of the customers needed help in buying a new computer or needed an Easy Tech service.

Pros

You will acquire genuinely useful AR and account management skills including Oracle, MS Office, customer support, reporting, and general O2C fundamentals. These skills will help you in future roles and look good on a résumé. To be transparent: those skills will come in handy when you’re searching for a new job later — because based on team conditions, you’ll likely be looking again within a year.

Cons

The Escalation Specialist role was originally part of the Center of Excellence (COE) and fully remote. It is no longer remote. Management relies heavily on weekly “validation” scorecards to evaluate performance. These scorecards often feel subjective and based more on opinion than actual workload, metrics, or demonstrated knowledge. They do not accurately reflect your true performance or skill level. Recognition tends to go to the same small group of individuals (primarily within Vendor Management), even though the Specialists are responsible for the majority of the day‑to‑day work and issue resolution. This creates an uneven sense of visibility and appreciation across the team. You deserve better!
