Executive Personal Computers, Inc.

If you're right out of high school looking to get in the workforce or if you are wanting a temporary place to work before a good job, this is the place for you. The President of the company is only worried about money and not the health of his employees. Under the current corona-virus pandemic, we are told that we are an essential company and that we will not stop working. It is true that people starting to work from home will need equipment, but that does not mean every department has to be there. Only the ones that will help get those products out (i.e, the notebook and system auditing departments). All other departments are just putting a higher percentage of workers at risk of catching the deadly virus.

If you want a job that will pay you horrible money and they have put managers and supervisors in place that will yell at you and punish you for your actions, this is your job. Many times I have been put down and laughed at because of decisions I have made, instead of the manger/supervisor helping me figure the problem out and making sure I understand. Also, if you have questions on how to properly do your job so you don't mess up, don't bother asking because you will be treated as if you are stupid and incompetent.

IF YOU HAVE UNHEALTHY LUNGS OR ASTHMA DO NOT WORK HERE. This place is a dust factory. In the deman department they shred almost any sort of electronics equipment and the lead dust and any other sort of harmful dust floats through the air. Give yourself a couple days of not cleaning your desk and it will be covered in lead dust. 

If you want to be told that you aren't doing your job fast enough and have someone breath down your neck even though you are trying your hardest. This is the job for you.

The culture at this company is horrible. The boss' talk down to their employees and have no formal procedure to follow. They will fire you by text with little to no notice. They claim to want people who care about their job yet allow certain individuals disregard the rules they set in place. The job is very clique oriented and when you are asked to speak with someone from a different department they give you the cold shoulder. The communication is also non existent, they expect you to learn their programs and procedures through osmosis. The pay was below average (which is why they claim they can not find good workers) yet refuse to increase the scale. They also claim that they have a lot of room for career advancement but the number of people who have been in the same position for 4-5 years or more without advancement shows otherwise. Overall if you enjoy being called stupid to your face by managers then this is the perfect place. 

Start it good then it all went down the gutter. Poor management , everyone moves on their own pace and then they  wonder why they’re backed up.  Leads don’t care if errors are made , two don’t even work. Audit do a terrible job on auditing items. Your own  Pto is substituted if you call in and you don’t have a choice.  
When it comes to employee appreciation they look for the cheapest way to repay them. If your a hard worker they don’t care or recognize it. Expect you to help everyone but who’s looking out for you and your work no one ! Everyday they loose an item. Greasy notebooks and items are slammed before selling to the customer. 

I worked at EPC for 8 years.
The reason I stayed so long was because I loved the work, loved the culture, appreciated the benefits, and it was close to my house.
My reason for departing EPC after 8 years was a lack of opportunity to really receive raises.
To be clear, this wasn't a: "Well I just didn't get raises", my entire department didn't receive regular raises the whole time I was there.
They did implement a commission program that gave us some monthly bonuses based on performance metrics but they were not as suitable or reliable of a substitute that merit based raises would have been.
A typical day for my line of work included coming in and grabbing a pile/load of work and working independently to accomplish whatever set of tasks I was assigned for that week.

The work is simple to learn, and once you've learned it, it is easy to do. The supervisors are decent people, however they are micromanaged by the facility manager, who also take it upon themselves to micromanage basic level employees, despite the facility manager not knowing anything about what department's procedure is. Facility manger also demonstrates poor leaderships skills by being rude and dismissive of employees if they are not doing something the way he would. Upper management constantly talks about being a "family", but takes every opportunity to prevent people from building workplace friendships.
The hours are good; running from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM with no mandatory overtime, however the pay is not competitive with other advertised employers in the area.

Each day, depending on what job you have, you do the same thing over and over and pushed to do it faster like a slave with no pay raises as a technician. Your actual boss is in another state which is nice if you're the type to fear bosses. Other than that, the work environment is iffy. Mangers take sides because no one wants to do that person's job if they were fired. You'll get in trouble for little things even if it's not your fault. All they care about is numbers and not actually creating a great work environment. You don't even make enough for the work they demand you to do and they know this. They constantly fire people because they don't like them, even if they fit the job correctly.

If your someone that enjoys working overnight for 3-4 days weekly for 18 an hour and 10-12 hours daily. Then this is the job for you. But if you work in columbia sc you will have to work with guys that do not care about getting the job done at resonable time so that you can get home  to your family. Oh and you being the new guy even after 8 month and obvisiously better at the job then a couple other guys. They will still get the independent trips which will leave you busting your butt locally for 15 an hour or working in the warehouse. Which sucks. The ars department is completely stressful and feeled with drama. Your bosses or in Missouri emailing u constantly. They dont care. Lastly apply for this field tech job it will take 3-6 weeks before u or actually working so dont put all your eggs in on basket.

My typical day involves testing several different types of networking equipment by clearing customer data from them and grading their overall appearance and function to determine if they are able to be resold to another company. My managers are both knowledgeable and friendly that any problem can be brought to them to help assist me in my job duties. My most enjoyable part of the job is the co-workers I have.  They help make what would normally be considered a boring day go by fast and entertaining at times and improving my mood tremendously. I don't dislike my job by any means but being able to laugh and smile many times throughout the day makes it seem less like work and days go by with a much better attitude that a job deserves.

The people who actually do the hard work are great and fun to work with, but when your direct supervisor makes up a lie to get you fired and the manager does NOTHING about it, it's not the best place to work anymore.  I was the one who had to call HR to investigate to clear my name. 
No reasoning on why lie was started, no apology and of course nothing was done to said supervisor. Was told by the manager to "just get over it."     
There are a few good supervisors, but others are just lazy and like to play/scroll on their phones or stand around talking all day.

The ARS Logistics Coordinator comes with a lot of autonomy, which is fantastic!  With autonomy, I believe, should come with more compensation.  
I signed on for the money I was paid.  I am not bitter at all.  I just hope that the powers that be begin to notice this, and pay their people more appropriately.   The benefits are AMAZING.   The work/life balance is the best I have ever been a part of.  I would have stayed forever if the pay was even just a little better.
