Pros

There's very little that I can write here about the pros of working at Computacenter! When i first joined, I believed the hype about them caring about their staff "since they're our only asset". Since then, I've come to realise that they care ONLY about profit and that the staff are nothing more than a financial drain. But hey, they provided me with a nice company car, so that's something positive, I guess...!

Cons

For some bizarre reason, Computacenter doesn't re-charge expenses to its clients, so the staff who have to work away from home on a regular basis (i.e. consultants) are forced to stay in cheap, unpleasant hotels where quite frankly, I wouldn't send a dog! Other companies I've worked for have said something like "3 star max", whereas Computacenter state "cheap as possible"! Also, micro-management is rife throughout the business making work very unpleasant. Finally (I'm being kind by only listing 3 cons!) if you opt for a nicer car on the company car scheme, you become trapped at Computacenter due to the finance agreement that YOU become liable for!

Pros

Great location, great co workers, great leadership

Cons

Can be a bit too sales focused and forget that other departments are just as important. Lots of perks for sales that are not availbale to anyone else in the company

Pros

Pay and job title are crazy nice

Cons

This place is less data center more fulfillment center style. Walk in and are told to just copy that rack. No training. Then if you make a mistake they get mad even though nothing was explained.
