CompUSA Employee Reviews for Category Manager

What do you like about working at CompUSA?

"Long leash to fully run my business, which was the Apple category. Full accountability for all aspects of the business, from sales/margin/inventory results to involvement in store planning and design."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I hope the new CompUSA (owned by Systemax / Tiger Direct) sees great success. It looks promising, and I would definitely consider being part of that team."

What don't you like about working at CompUSA?

"It's no longer with us, unfortunately. Toughest part was seeing a company insist on maintaining a third of its sales in negative margin laptops, while not allowing a profitable, growth oriented category (like Apple) to fully stretch its wings. Corporate disagreements regarding MDF were the root of the issue."
