Pros

I really liked the discount. You also get to work with employees that are your age, and you get to work with technology!

Cons

At times, there is poor management at store levels. The stress level of leadership positions can be quite high. Corporate expecting more than is feasible to get the job done, resulting in not having enough labor to support the job that needed to be done.

Pros

discounts, that is about it. some people are cool to work with, but most of the time everyone else there is incompetent.

Cons

some of the associates there do not know a thing about computers. the ones that do force the ones that dont to do the majority of the work. management and supervisors do not respect you as an individual.
