Pros

Great discount, flexible schedule for part timers & tuition reimbursement for full timers

Cons

Managers don't care about employees, every man for himself type of mentality. You can be infected with pink eye or have the flu & they will hassle you about being sick & have to come into work or you get into trouble. No sense of rewarding employees who consistently go above and beyond their roles for the business. Very unprofessional in sense of pay. Annual raises that are nothing & not based off of your own work but off of the business. You can hit goals & go beyond but if everyone isn't doing the same you too must suffer because of them.

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.
