Pros
- If you just need a part time job as your FIRST experience, sure. - Easy to get in - If you can, try getting into their marketing team instead because their lives (and work environment) is much better. AVOID any of the ground level jobs.
Cons
- NO lunch time. Yep, you heard that right. No system for lunch, something as basic as that is looked over since there is often an overwhelming amount of customers to sales staff. Expect your "lunchbreak" to be around 4pm. - Customers will rage at you daily since the computers spoil easily, so be prepared to be the companies' punching bag - Management (middle & top) wont care about the guys on the ground, often dismissing and not taking concerns seriously. - Work load is a mess, and you will frequently run around different departments (from servicing, to admin, to future orders, consultations and collections) - NO commission (at least when i left), which gives you no incentive to make sales - You will frequently see the power imbalance in the management on day to day basis. There are very clear favorites in Aftershock, and if you arent one of them, you will have a bad life. - Favoritism with female employees. Although i have to say, in a tech company this is SADLY not new. But yes, girls get treated much better here. (especially if you are chinese) - Non existent HR, who only makes themselves known when they remind you to not share salary pay. - Absolutely NO job progression. Seriously, this is a dead end job. You can contribute as much as you want to this company, but theres a reason people quit often. You can experience all you need in 2 weeks and the rest of the time, you are basically stuck. - People who work here for about 2 years are still stuck in the same position with no real bump to their pay - Some very arrogant leaders in top management, who gossip and talk behind people's back.
