Productive and Fun
Customer Service (Former Employee), Rockford, IL –
Pros: laid back environment, chances for advancement
Cons: low pay, no benefits unless your full time
When I would come into work I would feel like it would always be a good day. All of the employees got along well and a typical day would run smoothly with no issues or complaints, while having fun along the way. The management also cared about issues employees were having and were very flexible when it came to schedules for school or other various things.

Not a bad place to work
Sales (Former Employee), Sacramento, CA –
Pros: good work environment
Cons: pay not that good
I believe CompUSA is out of business.
As my 1st job in work with computers it was alright.
But it was more of a sales job.
I did manage to move to the repair shop prior to taking a job with Earthlink ISP.

Great place
Merchandising (Current Employee), Plantation, FL –
You do the same thing everyday, I learned more about electronics, the management used to be okay but they need to get more organized, my co-workers are awesome, the hardest part of this job is coming to work, and the most enjoyable part is leaving

Great work place with fun and hard working managers

Working for compusa has been a great experience. While working for compusa i learned new skills i learned how to drive a forklift how to build a defective pallet and i also learned how to sell and interact with customers using the EDGE program.The only thing i didn't like about working there is the fact that its hard to move up in the company and hard – more...  to get a raise as well but all in all its great work place – less

Good source of training and experience.
Technical Service Writer (Former Employee), Hauppauge, NY –
Pros: training and experience.
Cons: lack of compensation
CompUSA was an enjoyable position to have. Working with customers, helping them with computer needs was very satisfying. If the company were to request for me to return i would gladly accept. The company was liquidated, and only a few stores still exist.

Decent place
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Hoffman Estates, IL –
If you don't mind working on commission in sales, all in all is a fairly nice place to work. Wish I had never left.

The positive notes -
You have as much potential as you allow yourself. As aggressive as you are is as big of a paycheck as you will see.
The co-workers there were almost always completely down to earth and fun to work with as human beings.
Fun – more...  to work in this environment if you love technology in general, but more specifically computers and TV's.

The negative notes - Management seems to change on a constant basis.
Rules change pseudo-frequently.
Since you are on commission only, watch for some people who steal sales. It's a regular daily occurence if you don't stay engaged with your clientel.
Slow seasons are VERY slow seasons. Be ready to balance your checkbooks to account for january - march. – less

Great place to work at.
RTV Coordinator (Former Employee), Hoover, AL –
Pros: discounts on products.
Cons: required sunday morning meetings
CompUSA was a good place to work at. The environment is probably what stands out the most, even though the primary saling point are the spiffs it was a very laid back environment. Management was also laid back and would work with your schedule anyway they can. And there was definately room for growth, too bad majority of all locations closed down.
