Pros

Huge world wide retail company. Pays managers an above average salary.

Cons

Lots of pressure to perform. If manager b4 you was corrupt and was selling lots of phones, yet were to fraudulent customers, then the targets you will have will be unrealistically high, if you don't do the same thing, then you will never hit the targets as well as you will "negative comp" from last year big time! You will look like a complete loser.

Pros

Great discount, flexible schedule for part timers & tuition reimbursement for full timers

Cons

Managers don't care about employees, every man for himself type of mentality. You can be infected with pink eye or have the flu & they will hassle you about being sick & have to come into work or you get into trouble. No sense of rewarding employees who consistently go above and beyond their roles for the business. Very unprofessional in sense of pay. Annual raises that are nothing & not based off of your own work but off of the business. You can hit goals & go beyond but if everyone isn't doing the same you too must suffer because of them.

Pros

Good discount, good coworkers, helping customers is rewarding and helps time fly by.

Cons

No breaks unless you work over 8 hours and even then - you may be asked to skip your break. Work part timers 37-38 hours to avoid giving out health benefits. Set unrealistic goals and tell you every time you work that you aren't at your goal and you need to do better. Talked down to as if you are incompetent by certain managers - others are better.
