Pros

Great knowledge of technology and great discount. Management can vary but have always have had a pleasant experience with them. They track sales and goals but will not affect your employment status if not met. Talk to every customer and sell them what you need and you will enjoy this job very much.

Cons

Dealing with the customers that are incompetent. Closing duties are usually a pain we must down stock all products as opposed to the inventory team.

Pros

Relatively okay salary for my education, flexible work hours, fast paced environment, plenty of learning experiences, frequent team-building exercises and events.

Cons

Exploited my knowledge without just compensation, hired me for one job but gave me the bait-and-switch for a part-time job, and absolutely no advancement opportunities in 3 years. Regularly took me away from my job to help other departments and reprimanded me when my job couldn't be done.
