Current CEO: John Fry
Status: Active
With a family origin of working in retail and providing groceries to the public, the children of Charles Fry decided to sell electronic products instead of produce. This interest led to 34 stores in 9 states that offer computers, televisions and appliances to customers. Fry’s Electronics opened their first location in Sunnydale, CA, and the success of this outlet led to expansion. A unique aspect of each store opening is that they espouse a theme, keeping in line with the clientele that they attract. For example, the Fremont, CA, store had artifacts from the original Battlestar Galactica television show.
People interested in Fry’s Electronics careers should possess a strong interest in technology. While a majority of the products that are offered are computer related, they also offer many different electronic devices that shoppers desire to purchase. With a number of different functional needs, a professional can devote their skills towards providing customer care, repairing malfunctioning equipment or assist in managing the business. As with anyone involved in the computer industry, keeping track of emerging trends will help to set the stage for career advancement opportunities. This will help the company plan for the next generation of technophiles.
Working at Frys presents a unique firsthand look into the popularity of computer equipment. Employees will be able to interact with customers on a daily basis to determine trends and assist in resolving problems that may occur. As such, Fry’s Electronics culture is very customer oriented. The company strives to train their employees in providing exceptional customer service and communication skills. Working together in a team environment helps the workforce to meet these objectives. The close and friendly work environment will help professionals gain the skills needed to advance in their careers while finding the support to handle the day-to-day operations of the business.
One of the most valuable of the Fry’s benefits that are available for employees is a discount toward merchandise in the store. This can prove very favorable for someone that likes to purchase a number of gadgets and experience new technology before the general public. The company also offers incentives toward self-care and future well-being. Insurance packages and retirement plans help to secure a better future for the workers. Educational assistance and job training will assist those individuals interested in moving up the career ladder within the company. Combined with paid time off, employees are treated with a sense of value and respect.
