Pros

As I prepare to take on a new role and move on from GC Micro, I wanted to take the time to write a review about them as I think their rating is too low here. This is a really cool small business with great company culture, leadership that always felt they were there for me, and just a rare positive vibe throughout. Sales and account management are tough jobs, not for the faint of heart, but I think the way they offer support without micromanaging here is really special. I always felt like I had a lot of resources to reach out to, and that our reputation with our customers gave me a solid chance to win opportunities. I want to especially highlight their training program which was SO unique and cool - we got to watch some really interesting motivational material and there was as much focus on the mental aspect of sales as there was on technique. I really liked that and think I got more out of this role than just job skills. Also the comp - very enticing. There are account managers here that are up around 200-300k ever year. They have been doing this for years and got very good, so you're not going to get there for a while, but for a hungry learner? You could make a fortune at GC Micro.

Cons

The primary con is a steep learning curve - this is a role selling computer equipment to federal government programs and prime contractors. It is SO cool to get to work with NASA programs for instance, but you really have to dedicate time to learning their world and language, the government operates differently than anyone I've worked with before. I had strong performance in role and was able to consistently hit my numbers as I got more seasoned - but that could not have happened if I hadn't dedicated time and energy to really learning their world.

Pros

As an employee I felt supported by the management team and always set up for success. The ongoing training was truly aimed at both professional development and the training was aligned with company goals. Metrics were shared with employees and communication amongst the sales teams and management were fluid and on going. The CEO is a fantastic woman with vision who always impressed upon employees to consistently improve standards, whether it be with sales, customer service, and to provide feedback to management and sales teams such that the organization could improve. The CEO and management team served as fine examples for employees and were always willing to help with issues and provide feedback on goals and achievement. Personally I felt empowered after training sessions and super motivated. I learned how to set goals and have daily strategies aimed at achieving them-this is a skill that I will hold onto throughout my career.

Cons

I am no longer employed there, as we moved across the country.

Pros

I went to work at GC Micro right out of college. The training I received will probably have a bigger impact on my career than my degree. At most places the company is trying to make money and you're just there to help them do that. At GC Micro, it's a very different approach. The company's focus seems to be on helping each person be more successful and I think that's the company's secret to success. I like that the company is investing in me. Some of the best training was from the senior account managers. It's funny to think some of them were at GC Micro when I was still in elementary school. I like the physical environment, the break room is nice with all the refrigerators. I like the picnic tables outside. it's fun to eat lunch and watch the group play basketball. The gym is fantastic, I'm in the best shape ever.

Cons

I wish I could work from home more but that's not the way the company is set up.
