Lenovo Loaner Program is a company that's owned by Xchange Technology Group. This company has done a lot for me in the past and i'm very grateful for the experience and skills they've given me. But, now i'm looking to further my career, skills, and opportunities. I work for two rental companies simultaneously. Lenovo Loaner Program and Vernon Computer Source. One of them rents Lenovo machines to businesses that have the potential to purchase massive quantities of Lenovo machines at another time. They usually request only a few machines at a time and have very specific hardware configurations. Vernon Computer Source rents to anyone who has the money to afford their product, for which there is a wide range of prices. I'm responsible for configuring a vast array of laptops, desktops, small form factor, etc..We build custom images, we load applications and programs, we update operating systems and ship them out to the customer at essentially break neck speed. My co-workers are hardworking dedicated individuals that help me do my job to the best of my abilities. My company, like many others, has come under serious financial strain and struggles to make ends meet. Because of this management often pushes us to work harder and longer with little or no recognition for the effort put forth. The hardest part of the job is the sweltering heat of the warehouse. Our company used to provide Gatorade and cooling elements to help cope, but under the financial pressure only provide water coolers. The most enjoyable part for me is getting to see the brand new state of the art machines that come through the door, i genuinely love computer technology and get excited to see what new things are coming out.

When I started there in 2009 it was a fun and relaxed atmosphere and the management often had activities and support for the employees. Most are contract as was I. There were no benefits but pay was decent for unskilled labor. Over the years there has been a change both in management and funds to the point where everything is about the numbers on a graph. The facility relies on the fact that employment opportunities are still scarce and most of the positions can be filled by unskilled people, so now you do as they say or get out. The hours and shifts change regularly and you take it or leave. Management is now uncaring and morale is low. 
If you are desperate for work, then go for it as there is worse, but if you want to feel personal satisfaction and have growth potential, look elsewhere. After 4 years of contract work I was blessed to become regular Lenovo, with good benefits, but with no growth potential, favoritism, and poor management it is barely worth it.
Note below I approve of Lenovo's CEO as it is a global company, and the USFC site manager is a great guy, but after that......
The toughest part of the job is some heavy lifting and it is terribly hot during the summer (and fairly cold in the winter).
An enjoyable part is that USFC employees a diverse culture with employees of many nationalities.

Overall, the company is in complete disarray - lots of overlap in leadership with multiple decision makers running very different strategies / playbooks at the same time. There is no top-down hierarchy of decision making, so it's easy to feel lost. 

There are lots of meetings, so if you love being on video calls morning, noon and night, this is the place for you! Meetings often overlapped each other...folks at Lenovo seemed to not know how to check calendars for availability. There was a crazy amount of ghosting from people within my own org - no explanation or acknowledgment that they'd simply not shown up to a meeting they accepted....sometimes  these meetings fell outside my working hours and wasted time I could have used with my family. 

My boss was a robot - probably was a great individual contributor but was a terrible leader. We had 3 layers of business under us, and he micromanaged down to the very bottom. It was the worst, and despite Lenovo Listens scores and feedback, everyone above him loved the dude because we had results. We had SEVERAL people on a very small team take mental health leave due to the culture and team. Yikes.  

A typical day would start with hooking up several carts of computers. Then going through speaker tests and then having my boss yell at me on the first shift for not asking one person for help( new procedure). I ran my area like a champ for over six months. My co workers were the best part of the job. The hardest part of the job is being expected to work 60 hours a week with only one day off.  Driving half an hour one way to the job everyday and spending too much money on gas. I enjoyed my job for a while until the shifts split up and my supervisor thought he knew how to fix all the problems. Most repair problems are caused by software being burned onto the system. I was moved out of test for a guy with no experience and he claimed to be a software expert. I was moved out of test and into hi pot as punishment. I had the biggest week there in terms of numbers but i'm let go a week after my boss got into it with me on a Saturday.  Save your time and go work for a company that actually hires it's employees rather than use a temp service for an open end hire. Don't expect things like vacation time. You have to work a full year just to get one days paid vacation.

I joined fresh out of my Masters program and met some great people in my peer group. However, the upper management is very old school and does not know what it's doing or what it wants: especially in data science and for it's applications. The work culture never prized quality, instead it was the goal to make something fast that had the bare minimum and would eventually crash when handed over. The customer is always right even when senior technical leads said it was not a good or even doable idea. This is true from others in multiple departments. The only good mentorships I got were external.

Also work life balance does not exist especially since you often have to work with a China team at night and still report in early the next day regularly. The expectation is that you are always available.

Compensation for a new graduate is very, very good

Also, there is an established wfh culture, so there is flexibility there.

Also, an amazing maternity leave packing that is above and beyond industry norm in US

Relatively small portfolio of data center products competing against more established,  better managed competitors with far more compelling portfolio and value proposition. Possibly the least capable management team of any industry which was unable to respond to any clear emails, business decisions, choices, messages, business plans or ideas on when, how, why and what to compete with. A culture of verbal abuse was bizarre and shocking. The lack of back office systems that worked smoothly was from the SW stone age. The ignorance of some of the long term managers was just unbelievable along with the inability for collaboration to happen between any of the Business units represents a fatal flaw in how any company operates. Last two Qtr's revenue was down 16% each which speaks loudly. Sacred cow Pecking order with former IBM management team fits the worst stereo type you can imagine.

The company motto is "People who do" and there are "do" related slogans printed on the walls all around the workplace. The company started when the interest in PC's was growing in China and they provided a solution for English to Chinese translation. They've remained focused on the individual consumer and to that end, Lenovo has really embraced social media, both as an advertising tool outside the company and a collaboration tool inside the company. They are an AGILE culture - decide and do quickly, learn and improve continuously. Management is relaxed but focused on goals set by senior management. Employees are expected to set clear goals, are encouraged to collaborate on new projects and are given the autonomy to create their own work flows. Lenovo uses Sharepoint for file sharing and work flow management.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to use my IT skills to assist with life saving technologies.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
To be honest, the most difficult part of this experience was due to certain staff members who lorded their authority over temporary workers, such a lack of maturity in a place where lives are at stake, using the technology that our team built, imaged, tested and deployed.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The IT organation at Mather is a flat construction, with an IT leader, several Lead Staffers, and a few Loaners,  like myself who earned. Decent wage from our duties.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day consisted of: receive assignments for the day . This consisted of a checklist of incidents - mostly onsite, and a few offsite, notified by the assignment of Incidents in ServiceNow.
