Entry level job into the IT field - not a career

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun hobby to build your skills. You’ll get the opportunity to network with people in the IT field to eventually get a career. You’ll have room for lateral movement if you associate with the right people.

Cons

If you aren’t white, you won’t get promoted any higher than a junior management role. Strong, STRONG racial overtones for management. 4$ an hour job plus commissions for sales. Minimum wage plus commission for cashier jobs. Sales based skill-centric pay as a technician. You are asked to sell service items and a fair portion of pay (anywhere from 0% if you do no sales, up to 20% if you’re a sales superstar ON top of being technically skilled) is based on these sales. Promotions are based off of who you suck up to rather than performance.
