Discount, opportunity to learn about different types of technology, opportunity to see new technology before the general public, employee accommodations

Cons

Incompetent management, promotions often based on interpersonal relationships rather than merit, management will pawn responsibilities on employees without properly training them, employees are forced to do work that is meant for leadership team members without being promoted and given a raise

Pros

I loved the discount. Made a lot of friends. Learned a lot about retail sales and outbound shipping processing.

Cons

Early shifts on the weekends, took advantage of me because I was willing to work harder than other part time employees hired right before and after me. Sales associates treat Inventory workers with little respect. Overall job was way too stressful. My advice is care as little as possible to reduce stress. Don't volunteer to come in early or work late. We were never caught up. Management was pretty awful. Wish I would of kept my previous job that paid less.
