Pros

I got lucky- besides my immediate supervisor, the management is great. The other employees are great, and we're all pretty close. It is a respectable place to work, and the pay isn't too bad. The discounts are usually fantastic. If you're into electronics, it's a pretty good place to work.

Cons

If you are literally one minute late clocking in, it will count against you. You definitely can be written up for this. I missed a meeting one time out of the 1 1/2 years of working there because my alarm didn't go off, and I got on final warning. They are very corporate- oriented, you are just another dispensible employee, no matter what. If you're part time, you get no benefit opportunities and good luck on maintaining a reliable amount of hours per week. Mine range from 38 to 10. Hard to pay bills with that instability.

Pros

Discount, and being able to engage with customers, thats about it

Cons

Poor Management, all about numbers, and about forcing "solutions" down the throats of the customer, short term vision , and LACK of people skills. Likes to micro manage. Very sketchy with scheduling, one week you can have 20 hours then you can be down to 1 day
