Productive, Fast Pace Job
Field Service Technician (Current Employee) – Kansas City, MO – November 10, 2018
Each day is different, but for the most part, my day is communicating with customers, troubleshooting and resolving issues with their equipment. I have learned a lot by continuous training to stay up to date. Each day is a challenge which makes for a good job.
Nice travel but little other perks
Marketing IT Specialist (Current Employee) – Durham, NC – November 6, 2018
Working remotely is a plus, but there is no room for growth or advancement. HR revamps the review process every year rather than provide paths for growth and salary increases.
Pros
International travel, flexiblity to work from home
Cons
No career advancement, no salary growth.

Many good changes taking place! Strong business strategy and investments in process simplification and improvement. Global Company. Very happy with the benefits program. Good 401k match.
Pros
Work Life Balance- Benefits
Cons
Making improvements on these
Much autonomy because everything is "fly by the seat of your pants"
Benefits Specialist (Former Employee) – Durham, NC – August 21, 2018
I enjoyed working here in general, but there is a lack of recognition at the management level of who is performing the work, so the laziest are paid the most and the hardest workers are just suckers. But, the benefits are quite good for the market and the pay is decent, though it is frustrating that no solid ground rules exist for many of the bad behaviors management doesn't recognize.
Pros
You get to define your own processes.
Cons
You have to define your own processes because nothing is defined.
Not all that glitters is gold
Executive Assistant (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – August 2, 2018
The company and environment itself is laid back, however, they have lots of re-org / layoffs going on consistently. This is not good for business or employee retention.
No opportunity for advancement
Customer Fulfillment Order Management Specialist (Current Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – July 11, 2018
In general I like the team that I work with. We have a great time, however I have been here for almost two years and I work my butt off and have seen people that came in after me and people that I have trained get hired permanent before me.
I enjoy the flexibility offered of being able to work from home if something comes up ie, a sick child, car problems, etc. The down side I don't feel that the pay matches the work and there is no opportunity for advancement and the possibility of getting on permanent.

Pros
Great Team
Cons
Overworked, Overlooked
Challenging but rewarding with helpful coworkers
Service Representative in Northern VA (Former Employee) – Woodbridge, VA – May 12, 2018
Work was challenging, but if I ran into a problem, there was always a coworker who could help. Management was very helpful, not condescending or overbearing. No one berated me for ignorance or mistakes in working.
Pros
Helpful coworkers
Cons
Raises were infrequent
Tough environment with little to no management support
Project Manager - Lead Client Advocate (Former Employee) – North Carolina – May 8, 2018
Client engagement means no management support. Remote management means "you better guess corrrectly". Left to your own decisions means if you guessed wrong "YOUR FIRED!"
Pros
it's a job
Cons
you should be looking for a job
Management Needs to Go
Software Engineer (Current Employee) – Raleigh-Durham, NC – May 4, 2018
Most of the senior management is also working for another Toshiba company and they are not focused on the retail side. Very little pay increases over the past few years and they mostly go to senior management.
Pros
work life balance
Cons
little pay, company doesnt hold anyone accountable for anything
Excellent company
Senior Software Engineer (Current Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – April 22, 2018
Toshiba is a great employer. For those that choose to work in retail software, it is an excellent choice. The biggest drawback is just that. There is no opportunity to expand careers to something that is not retail related.
Pros
Work life balance is paramount
Cons
Singular industry focus
Productive and faced pace work environment
Software Test Engineer (Current Employee) – Durham, NC – April 21, 2018
I enjoyed working at Toshiba.I enjoyed the team I worked on. Everybody worked hard and we supported each other. The environment was fast paced and the job was a challenge.
Administrarive
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Durham, NC – March 26, 2018
Wonderful place to work for and great people, mangers and executives were great people. Kept me busy did a lot of travel arrangements and hotel and rental
Pros
work from home
Cons
temp job
doubt anyone would refer you here
Anonymous (Current Employee) – RTP – March 25, 2018
this place is not like your traditional work environment. the common joke is "this is tgcs". the intent behind this statement is that things you would expect from any other organization, you won't see here. if you've ever worked anywhere else, this is more than validated and you will ask yourself inside of three months, what have you done.
Pros
flexibility
Cons
pay, lack of advancement, lack of employee morale, no employee recoginition
Typical IT company with poor executive leadership
Technical Support - Technical Lead (Current Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – March 6, 2018
This company was formed after Toshiba bought it from IBM. The executives do not know how to operate in this new environment. They are not independent thinkers or leaders.
Pros
Popcorn Wednesday
Cons
Management
management old guard from ibm HW days
Software Engineer (Former Employee) – Durham, NC – February 21, 2018
Carry over from IBM (RSS).
2 distinct areas (HW) and (SW).
1st line mgt was terrible. All about who likes who.
Assumed my job performance was good enough to keep me there. I was wrong. Mgt plays games with office politics.
In 5 years working, only had 1 skip level (one on one with next level of mgt).

engineer (Former Employee) – Durham, NC – February 3, 2018
mgt is terrible.
1st and 2nd line mgt are old school IBM mentality.
Mgt very protective of turf. no collaboration.
HW and Software are divided.
Many more people on software side.

Bad long term job
Service Technician 1 (Former Employee) – Oregon – February 3, 2018
A field tech position is probably good for a tech starting out in IT. However not something you want to make long term if you can even handle the management.
Possibility of raise 0%. Promotion maybe 3% if everyone above you retires and you are the only one left unless they hire from outside. You can meet some cool people but the higher ups really don't care about you. They will work you to the bone and only say something if you mess up.
If you love driving 6+ hours daily only to be yelled at for being late then this job is just right for you. Make a tiny mistake after being perfect for months, get yelled at. Perfect place.

stressful, poor management, understaffed
This place is a mess!
Rollout Help Desk Agent (Former Employee) – Bentonville, AR – January 20, 2018
Pair poor practices and management with no idea what's going on, or basic industry practices and you have TGCS. They don't appreciate or reward knowledge, skills, or hardwork.
Pros
8 hr day
Cons
8 hr day
I loved everyone!!!
Project Coordinator (Former Employee) – Bentonville, AR – January 13, 2018
I'm 21, when I worked here nobody treated me different. I was an equal in every sense of the word. Pam G. Is almost magical. Apply here for a good year.
Pros
Best boss, open people, helpful, insightful, 1 hour lunch.
Cons
None
