Low upward movement and inconsistent management.

Customer service representative

Pros

The Coworkers are definitely the best part. Everyone there is into computers parts in one way or another, so it is easy to relate.

Cons

Management is extremely inconsistent and regularly keep you in the dark. Was consistently lied to and strung along in order to keep me for the Holiday Season. Promotions are based on favoritism from the managers rather than quality of work put in. They will tell you its about "numbers" for a promotion, but hire brand new people from outside the company or promote people from warehouse, where "numbers" don't even matter. Long hours and a lot of work for comparatively dismal pay even with commission. I could write much more, but I do not recommend working for this company.

Great co-workers

Pros

Great co-workers! Customers are usually very nice if you know people and can read their needs.

Cons

If you don't get a high percentage of customer names, addresses AND emails AND sell their Replacement Plans, you won't see any raise in pay or position advancement within the company regardless of your education and honest people skills.

Love the workers, hate the job

Pros

The workers are the some of the best people I've ever met. The money is pretty decent and you get commission off of the warranty plans that you sell. You can move up to sales associate if a position opens up. They also hire computer technicians from within the store.

Cons

Customers are awful (just like all retail jobs). You have to take down emails of people, and you get talked down to if you don't get their emails down.
