Pros

The retail level is great. Staff is easy to get along with and most of the managers are easy to talk to. The hours are stable and depending on your job position, not too stressful. Overall this is a great place to gain entry level experience.

Cons

The company has very unrealistic goals for its sales staff. The CA or TD anti virus software that they push the staff to sell is unanimously acknowledged as the worst software in the market. The health benefits leave a lot to be desired. This company does not give raises. The person walking through the door for a new job will be making the same wage as a seasoned veteran who has been there nearly a decade. All in all, this company does not care about it's employees.

Pros

The positions paid well, had good benefits, and offered lots of training.

Cons

There is a lot of competition in the technology industry, there are new developments almost daily. It can be demanding at times to stay on top of all the information coming at you. There was also a lot of cross training of positions. A lot to learn. But me, I like learning.

Pros

Loved the customers and the fellow co-workers. Hard work to develop the right relationships but it pays off in the end. Great place to learn. But...... I WOULD NOT RECOMEND this place to anyone.

Cons

Watch out!! It's all about the numbers baby! All your hard work bringing in new accounts is not appreciated if you don't have the numbers. There is only one thing they look at, numbers. When there are other values a sales rep brings to the table. Had over $1.1 million in sales YTD, but.... missed one too many pay periods. Watch for ever increasing quotas until you can't do it any more than BAM! Your out the door. Very inconsistent in the termination process. Many reps let go for under performance while a select few can miss their numbers constantly and still keep their job. Some reps receive multiple third warnings before the final,and still have their job. It's a "Throw them on the wall, and see who sticks" mentality. Except for the special reps. Absolutely zero coaching from the managers. And if you do create a nice account...poof. Its gone and a senior rep has it the next day.
