Pros

Troubleshooting local client technology Building desktop PC's from brand new components Employee discount on Inland brand items is very nice Work well as a tech and get promoted to BYO

Cons

Build Your Own department makes most of the sales commission and then drops off the parts to the service desk to do the actual work. Techs are overworked and underpaid compared to other departments. The ticketing system is slow and archaic

Pros

co- workers are nice, commission structure is fair. discounts are nice

Cons

if you are ever unable to meet your numbers you will suffer. even if you know you are doing a great job, if the numbers don't match it doesn't matter. not to mention if you manage to forget any step of the process if management sees it you will get written up, so then you slow down your approach and make sure everything gets checked with each customer and then you are told your productivity is not doing well. this is constant and there is never a happy medium. POS system is prehistoric and has a steep learning curve. even if you are tech savvy it still wont make much sense compared to modern equivalents Oh and if you enjoy your sanity, never check your work email because overtime it will be loaded with "Coaching" emails which is them logging all of your mistakes with a passive aggressive tone
