Do any of you "techs" work for big companies?

How many of you techs work for big national companies such as Compaq, HP, Dell, etc..or maybe stores like best buy, CompUSA. As opposed to a local shop.

Just wondering and tell us what it's like if you work at one of the big PC manufacturers. :)

I work in a small shop, I meet this guy when he started working here about 7 months ago, (he introduced me to over clocking! :D ) About one month ago he got a job at Gateway (just down the street) He gets benefits (health, dental, paid vacation etc... I get none of that :( )But its just him and one other tech working on all the computers, but they have a standard 7-10 day wait on all service. I keep bugging him to get me a job there, maybe one day dell will have local shops( I will be lining up for that deal :D )

I work for a rather large company (about $1-2 million a day) but I'd rather not say specifically who. It's one of those wonderful Television Shopping channels. It's a good job and pays well though.

I'm a programmer for a financial company. We have about 600 employees.

Ohhhhhhh, a programmer, that would explain the attitude :D j/k

I am not permitted to divulge that information. I work in Hell. Benifits are very very very nice, the customers are spoiled brats and MOST, not all, of my co-workers are policy zombies and don't know jack about computers. Currently working on my network + (don't laugh) to get out of the dang front line support. This job has seriously shortend my life span!

i work for GE and the Zurich company they both make a MILLIONS or maybe even BILLIONS to bad they pay is crappy, but sapposly they are improving as time goes on.
i do help desk

:(

I (as some of you already know) work as a Pc Tech at the Circuit City service center. Its an Ok job and I have learned a lot while working there(been ther for 4 1/2 years) While I may not know as much about the "home built computers" I am pretty good with the OEM(crappy stuff :D )

I did a 3 month Contract for EDS Innnovations out of Ottawa.

EDS owns General Motors and is owned by Ross Perot
remember Him.

I work with 12,000 other people...no joke! :eek: :D :D
