Beyond Surplus Response

During the first day of work "orientation," employees are given gloves and various other PPE required for use. If company policy is followed, there should be no cuts of any kind. Like any warehouse environment, employees are assigned an adequately ventilated workstation. Employees are encouraged to participate in weekly one-on-one performance reviews and daily team strategy meetings so their voices and concerns are heard; if you work well in a collaborative environment, you will thrive, and not after being terminated for poor attendance and performance do your voice "your concerns."

Pros

It's a good place to get your PC knowledge chops and be around all kinds of computer parts. I was there for a good 6 months and it was exactly what I expected. You need to be detailed and ready to learn and make mistakes. Not too many though. There's a grace period where you need to understand what the hell you're doing. Ze the warehouse manager is awesome at letting you know what's up. At first it feels like it's a cold environment, but after a while you get it and it's not as cold. Give it time and give yourself a bit of room to understand and learn. Be fast but don't be too fast to make mistakes that will bite you when they come back to you. Overall the pros are once everyone gets to know you the environment is chill-ish and the bosses are pretty good to you. They will test your knowledge and be hands and not afraid. The best part is communicated with everyone and be on time all the time. If you're late, let them know. It's super important. No excuses. Be on time or earlier no nonsense cause they don't tolerate nonsense. If i didn't have the circumstances I did I would have stayed. I would be there still honestly, I was getting used to the workflow which isn't that bad. Always keep a log of your work and get good quick.

Cons

The cons are pretty straight forward. Pay is ok but could always be better. Company is super small so don't expect upward motion in hierarchy.
