A Technology Company Stuck in the Past
Pros
Fellow employees all have a passion for technology, chances are that if you are applying here for entry-level positions you will have a lot in common with coworkers. Benefits packages are OK if you are hear long enough to become eligible for them. Employee purchasing is easy and a great value. This is a great job for someone currently in high school or college looking to make some money for the weekends.
Cons
Horrid pay, negotiation will cost you the job offer. Archaic POS system and software. They essentially use DOS screens to make purchases and navigate through their customer database. Terribly disappointing for a technology distributor. Training programs are incredibly dated. Management focuses too much on name and email capture, to their point where it turns customers away. Any benefits or opportunities are based on your ability to capture customers' names and emails. The managers all think incredibly highly of themselves, and it shows. This gives a terrible impression to their new and current employees and causes issues with morale. Additionally, despite their own opinions of themselves they tend to panic when things get busy, either trying to do too much and ending up doing nothing, or just disappearing altogether until things slow back down. Essentially, they are only really useful for scheduling and manager overrides, the store could run by itself without them. High employee turnover due to poor pay.
