Pros

When you step into the lobby of GC Micro you will see two large trophy cases. Those cases are filled with every possible award a small business can receive in America including one from the President of the United States. How do you do that for 28 years in the IT industry? By treating your staff, your customers and your suppliers with the highest levels of respect, honesty and integrity. You also accomplish that by attracting and keeping the finest staff available and treating them like the champions they are.

Cons

Notice how even the negative comments refer to the training as being good and even GREAT. Notice one person who said the "commission structure was not competitive" worked there for "more than five years." Another person who described GC Micro as, "One of the worst companies you could possibly work for", also worked there for "more than 5 years". If you went into a restaurant and the food was over priced and the WORST food you have ever eaten, would you go back every night for "more than 5 years"? Maybe it wasn't GC Micro that was the problem? One negative comment described GC Micro as "A tad myopic". I don't think that person ever actually worked at GC Micro. That comment probably came from an angry competitor. They mentioned a co-owner, there is no co-owner. The also described it as a "good old boys club." Thats interesting, the owner is a woman, the controller is a woman, the sales manager is a woman and the head of training is a woman. GC Micro offers every person excellent training and a fantastic opportunity to be extremely successful. Not everyone can make the grade and those people are angry and blame the company. They refuse to take responsibility for their lives and their careers and that is why they failed. Negative people are doomed to fail no matter where they go.

Pros

I have been at GC Micro for over 10 years. When I look over the negative reviews I have to laugh because I know exactly who each of those people are and why they no longer work at GC Micro – [insert Paul Harvey here with “the rest of the story”! LOL]. There’s always more to it. GC Micro changed my life for the better in so many ways and is such a fantastic company it probably sounds unbelievable, but I’ll tell you anyway. The sales training you are exposed to is life-changing – my kids will never worry about money because of what I learned and IMPLEMENTED in my career. People who work at GC Micro are HAPPY (negative-nellies need not apply!). The atmosphere is family-like. It never feels like you’re “going to work” it’s just “coming into the office” – it doesn’t feel like “work” because people at GC Micro like what they do (and if they don’t, they leave – we have a saying, “You can stay or you can go, but you can’t stay and complain!”). The commission rate is higher than any I’ve seen in the industry. And GC Micro pays you what they say they are going to pay you. It’s all up-front, in writing, clear to understand, no surprises. PLUS there are bonus incentives, including monetary incentives, all-expense paid trips that knock your socks off, excellent seats (often front row!) to the best concerts, super-fancy dinners at top-rated restaurants and other fun surprises. GC Micro is big on team building and we are constantly doing fun things both in and out of the office - from simple things like lunch-time BBQs to more organized events like ropes courses. As far as the health insurance goes, I’m not sure what the naysayers are talking about. I recently compared my health plan against that of a half a dozen of my closest, well-employed friends (who work for Fortune 500 firms, are self-employed, or work for other small businesses). I would not trade my insurance for ANY of the plans my friends have. Evidently some former employees prefer Obamacare, COBRA, paying for their own insurance or waiting in line at public health centers. While any care is better than none, GC Micro’s is ahead of what most companies (large or small) are offering nowadays. A common phrase at GC Micro is, “If it is to be, it’s up to me.” If you don’t succeed at GC Micro, I guarantee it’s not the company!

Cons

There are no cons to being at GC Micro. GC Micro has proven itself to be a company of honesty, integrity and loyalty. It’s a great place to have a career.

Pros

The company has five gym machines in the back room. But it's in a musty stockroom, and you don't really feel like staying there after work anyway. There is a Starbucks down the street. Some of your coworkers will have a sense of humour. The rest are just empty people. Again, there is a Starbucks down the street. That's excellent.

Cons

This company has no integrity, values, or investment in the long-term growth and sustainability of its employees. The first review that says how great the job is. That was either written by management, or one of the brain-washed people who work there and have nothing else in their life. If you have any self-respect, steer clear of this company. They don't care about you at all. They will cleverly fill you up with self-help b.s. to make it look like you actually mean something to them. Don't be fooled. If you don't believe me, and don't value your time at all, then by all means apply and see for yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you.
