  • 9a. Would you recommend Computacenter to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend computer centre to a friend due to the opportunities I've been exposed to over the years I've been working at computer centre I've been able to get involved in campaigns and speak to really senior members of staff within the organisation which I don't think comes around a lot they really do give you the ability to grow as much as you want sales person and also individually

  • Be yourself I think it's really important ask computer centre has got a great culture and they employ people not just on their ability but also have it integrate into this great team I would also recommend doing our research on organisation as although it's not the most known company in the world it's very large and we operate over a large group global span and it's something that we definitely take pride in so having a knowledge before you apply something I would definitely recommend
