A - Anonymous employee Jennings Computer Services Employee Review

This employer is a very fair and considerate when it comes to taking time off for personal appointments, sickness, borrowing a work van for personal use, taking time out for extended holiday breaks etc. They also don't breathe down your neck or track your every movement like many other employers. It's a very relaxed place to work as long as you do what is expected of you.

They may not pay the highest wages but they are a small business operating in a competitive sector so that is to be expected to a degree. And they do look after you in other ways.

Jennings Computer Services is a small Apple retail store, you'll learn much about how Apple deals with ACMT's and Apple Retail Stores. You'll be thrown into the deep-end often repairing Apple hardware that you do not have the training to do, so you learn quick on the job however no training is offered in this aspect leading to possible mistakes. In 1 month i had repaired all new forms of Apple Hardware without any training or guidance.

One weeks basic training is offered to non-ACMT and then you're let loose on any Apple machine. Minimal support and guidance is offered and you're directed to look at the manuels that you don't have access to because you're not a fully qualified ACMT. As noted, the company routinely hires a new staff member, every 3 months and lets another member go at the same time. I assume this keeps wages down and the grunt work is easy to do so why pay them more. This was confirmed by a recruitment agency. Communication between front-houses and back-house is shambolic. Often non-repaired machined were submitted as repaired by over obnoxious assistants causing issues, delays and confusion for customers and staff.
