A typical day as a technician for Canada Computers will keep you busy. There is always a ton of computers to be fixed, defective hardware to be tested, steady questions from customers, and occasionally some custom computer builds for customers.

This is a good position to help grow your knowledge and to stay current with technology and tools.

The management – more... is top notch for all 4 stores in Ottawa. The best part is, as a technician, you are free to fix things how you like. You aren't micro managed and they rarely bother you or give you any kind of hard time.

The co workers are awesome too and very much into new tech and toys. The staff made it fun to come to work!

The hardest part of the job was dealing with very technical questions from customers both on the phone and in person, while doing returns, and still trying to fix computers through out the day. Its hard to balance it all. If I couldve been locked in a room and just fixed computers, it wouldve been a lot easier.

The best part was the freedom to use your own techniques and software. They provide everything you need, and have parts readily available for testing. The more money you bring in for service revenue, the bigger your bonus is. – less

treat employees poorly, only room for advancement if of Asian descent. dont pay overtime hours but expect you to work it.

a fun place to work if you love computers. A typical day is pretty low stress and predictable. We are incredibly under staffed and a lot is expected of each employee. The company treats employees as robots, not people. Work hours are rough, scheduling is unpredictable, management is childish and passive aggressive.

Geeking out with customers and cowokers – more... is the greatest part. You spend time around the things you love and you learn something new every day. – less

Canada Computers like any company has its ups and downs. The people that I've had the privilege to work with directly are some of the best I've ever worked with, and are really what make going to work every day worth while. Due to long hours most days there isn't really a good work / life balance and most of us get home exhausted at then end of a typical – more... 9 to 10 hour day with only a 30 minute break. The pay is acceptable though constant changing of commission structure is making it harder and harder to earn a decent living. I've had fellow employee's describe it like working at Best Buy or Staples, but we have to answer exceptionally specific question from customers. The expectation from head office is about sales numbers with little regard for customer service, so it's a good thing that most store employee's care about our customers. There was a time when the commision structure didn't change every 2 months and the most employee's worked 4 day weeks which made for great work / life balance. unfortunately those days are gone for now. – less
