I''m trying to find a summer job right now, and CompUSA is a possibility if I don''t find anything else. I''d like to do something other than cashier or clerk, like help at the computer repair place they have (I''m not quite sure what they do). Anyways, I''m wondering if anyone has any idea about how much they pay.

Peanuts.

The only thing good about working at a place like that (I worked at Best Buy) is the discount. Otherwise it totally sucks. But the discount is awesome, it kept me there for like a year and a half.

Try Staples. By the way, what do these big computer stores look for in terms of experience before hiring someone into their computer repair center?

Experience?

Well, my friend worked there while i worked at Toys R Us, and he complained alot about a-hole managers and not being able to use his emplyee discount whenever he wanted. And there is little room for advancement, dont plan to do much more than cashiering unless they hire you as a repair guy at the beginning. Ugh--im never working retail again...and you wont either, after this summer .

I worked there for 3 years and it was not that bad. The employee discount was very good and the people (including the managers) were normal. As far as advancement, you have to jump around from department to department to get a "good" raise. Otherwise the raise is like .13 every 6 mounths (bleck!!). My major gripe is that it was retail. Who the hell ever like dealing with customers?

By the way I was a cashier and worked customer service.

I have a friend in Texas who''s working there now in their tech support dept. It starts at $11.50/hr, but you have acces to training for various certifications (such as A+, MCSE, etc...). You get a raise for each certification you get. He likes it so far. He''s doing it just for the training

Yeah, I''m looking for a job like that myself and want to get one at someplace like CompUSA or BestBuy or something (mainly for the discount so I can get my own computer). I live in the Columbus area, so there are quite a few places to choose from. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you code it, they will come...
