Pros

Good work environment with the right management team, Co-workers are great and most hourly associates work together as a team.

Cons

The pay is horrible and bonuses are a joke. You will often work by yourself, be responsible for tech work and the entire electronics department. SELL, SELL, SELL those insurance plans and don't take no for an answer! Strict conflict of interest policy that prohibits techs from doing any repair work on the side but they pay you just above minimum wage... you do the math.

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!
