Informix programmers/DBAs - I LOVE MY JOB! How bout you?
Posted in 1995
First off, I am *not* a recruiter. I am a programmer/manager (notice that programmer is first). We need experienced INFORMIX people pretty badly. I work for PC Service Source, which is a company specializing in servicing PC service centers. Say, your PC breaks. You send it to a company that fixes them. Where do they get their parts? From AST, Dell, IBM, etc.?? No, they get them from PCSS. Aparently we've found a niche because our growth has been amazing. We've gone from $0 to about $65,000,000 in 7 years. And the growth has been exponential! We have nearly tripled the number of employees in two years. Bottom line: *major* job security and promotion opportunities!! Our department has multipied into two areas: Development and Operations. The Operations area handles all day-to-day problems: performance, data- integrity, bugs and emergencies. Development handles all new programming to enhance the functionality of our system. The President of the company has said that "we are an IS-driven company." We need some people to help us with this growth. We need people who are well-versed in INFORMIX. We'll take 4GL programmers for the Development area and INFORMIX DBA-types for the Operations area. Now the fun stuff: Both areas are fun, relaxed departments. We are the type of department that will get the job done quick and done correctly, but will have water-gun fights in between jobs. The directors of both areas are great guys and are great bosses! They have come up through the ranks and understand programming/IS problems. And... they both report directly to the President so there is very high visibility! BTW, the directors of those departments are in their mid-thirties and the President is in his late thirties/early forties. It's a very young company. Casual work environment. No ties, no suits, no hassles. Hardly any red tape. very little bueracracy. We work hard but have fun. The building is located in North Dallas at I-35 and Valley View (real close to 635). Its a new building with six stories, nice, new, large cubicles, a big break room and a free workout room for employees with free weights, treadmills, stairmasters and weight machines. All in all, pretty nice digs. Take a look at our Web page: http://www.pcservice.com/ for more info and/or email me at bpayne@netcom.com or bpayne@pcservice.com.
