Pros

The job itself is simple. Yes, there is pressure to reach sales goals with credit cards and Geek Squad memberships, but it isn't make-or-break. You don't necessarily need to have an incredible amount of technical knowledge. Depending on your manager, it may be lax. Overall, a pretty chill environment with some cool coworkers. Also some opportunity for upward movement into the Geek Squad or management, which is nice.

Cons

There is a massive emphasis on getting credit cards and Geek Squad memberships. That's basically all upper management talks about. There can be a childish mentality among employees and upper management. One in particular at this location will go out of her way to make her power "known". Definitely takes her job way too seriously. It can get old quickly, especially when the pay is low and the hours are long. They will try to overschedule you.

Pros

I met a lot of interesting people here.

Cons

This job has a high turnover rate, and from the second you get there, you'll figure out why. There is constant pressure from management to sign people up for credit cards. Customers are frustrated and will be very rude to you.
