INCREDIBLE COMPANY, ASTONISHING TRAINING, AMAZING STAFF, A SECOND FAMILY, CHANGED MY LIFE, GREAT MEDICAL INSURANCE.
Pros
I will never forget my first day at GC Micro. In training they told us the core belief of the company was,"We would never take advantage of a customer even if we could and they would never know it." I'm sure that is one of the reasons GC Micro has been working with so many Fortune 500 firms for over 25 years. The owner Belinda Guadarrama runs the company with a level of integrity that is unparalleled in my work experience. She is a very kind and compassionate person that is always there for anyone that needs her. One day a lady came in from the administrative staff crying. A dog she had for 17 years had died the day before. Belinda consoled her then got on the Internet and found a puppy of that same breed. (I think it was an Australian Shepard) That afternoon Belinda and the woman went over to San Jose and Belinda bought her the puppy. When they brought the puppy back that afternoon I think the entire company was on the floor in the lobby playing with that little dog. it was a memory I will never forget. Another time a lady on the sales team lost several family members in a small plane crash. She was out for several months. She was paid the whole time she was gone the same as if she had been there. When she finally returned, her position was there and all of her accounts had been handled by Belinda and other members of the sales team in her absence. You will notice even on the negative comments they talk about how great the training is. The sales and personal development training at GC Micro changed my life for the better in 100 different ways. While I was at GC Micro I saw training programs on diet, investing, self-esteem and a dozen other subjects that all had a dramatic impact on my life. They also give all of the staff books and DVD's that everyone really enjoyed. I loved the medical insurance. You have access to the best doctors. I was in the hospital twice during the time I was at GC Micro. It was amazing. GC Micro has a basketball court and a huge work out area with high end equipment. There is also a walking/jogging area near by. I lost 12 pounds and got in great shape while I was there. I need to move back to California and go back to work at GC Micro, I gained 15 since I left :( .
Cons
Let me see what are the Cons of working at GC Micro. Well first off it will spoil you for the rest of your life and you will never be completely happy with any other company. I miss the friendly and supportive atmosphere. GC Micro is nationally famous in the federal marketplace as an IT supplier. They have won awards from the government and dozens of Fortune 500 firms. You can't do that for over 25 years unless you have a staff of well trained, motivated, positive and professional people. The negative comments you see on this site are from the people that just couldn't make the grade at GC Micro. Some people are too into blaming others for their failure and those kind of folks don't do well in a team of champions. They are obviously very bitter and I do feel sorry for them.
