Wouldn’t Recommend - Account Representative Southern Computer Warehouse Employee Review

SCW has made major improvements in training this year. Also, connecting the teams and growing together. Last year was a bit rough to be fair, but changes have been made that have helped immensely. The group here are amazing and work well together.

It would be nice to have some 401k matching. Also, if the insurance costs could be less.

It wasn't so bad when I started, but that was almost a decade ago. There were a couple of coworkers I liked, but outside of that, everything about this company is terrible.

Where to start. I worked there for almost a decade. When I started, it was perfectly fine. The former team was great, the former CEO actually valued employee happiness. I still think about those early days fondly and wish that it had stayed that way. Then a few years ago, the owner decided he wanted to take charge, and everything has been on fire since then. Every person that made working there bearable left mere months after his new reign. And it is a reign, because this guy thinks he's a king. He constantly berates and belittles every single person who does not agree with him. If you disagree with him, he will threaten to fire if you if not just outright fire you. He told a room full of female employees that we need to "raise the young men," there as though we were their mothers or wives. This man is so far out of touch with reality he thought that was an okay thing to say. He only listens to and respects the opinion of male employees, but only then just barely. And only then if he's talking to them about how he could "still take a 25 year old," which he was overheard saying when he left his office door wide open one day. If you're a woman and you disagree with him or anger him, it is his express goal to be so cruel to the point of tears, and then he'll call you emotional. He had the security camera feed playing on TV's hanging in the office so we knew he was 'watching' us. He doesn't care about the quality of someone's work, only that he can control them. It does not matter if you get your work done and do it well, if you looked away from my computer screen for one second, he would go on a rampage. Doesn't matter that the work was done or done well. He made it perfectly clear that's not what he values, he values subservience. Also don't expect to be treated like an adult with thoughts and feelings. He hates that, and he will absolutely treat you like a child. In company wide meetings, he'd often say the phrase, "I surround myself with people smarter than me that can do the job," Yet, he isn't smart enough to listen to them. Some did want to change things for the better, but he will actively berate and put down their ideas and rally against them until they comply or left the company themselves. Again, he doesn't care about success, he wants to control people. This one man made working at SCW a living nightmare. He confuses fear with respect and doesn't realize not a single person there respects him, they are simply afraid
