Pros

Benefits for an hourly employee are great. Tuition reimbursement, health insurance, 401k. This is only if you are a full time employee. Get to work with awesome new technology. Fast paced. You will get to know how to sell and how to make sales relationships. Great and fun people to work with often times.

Cons

Senior management are very short sided and change messaging constantly. Never a consistant message so it is not always clear to what you are supposed to do to be promoted or to be considered as doing well. One day it could be service plans, the next it could be credit cards. The next it could be missing signs but there is no formula for what good looks like and it is very frustrating.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
