Pros

Huge world wide retail company. Pays managers an above average salary.

Cons

Lots of pressure to perform. If manager b4 you was corrupt and was selling lots of phones, yet were to fraudulent customers, then the targets you will have will be unrealistically high, if you don't do the same thing, then you will never hit the targets as well as you will "negative comp" from last year big time! You will look like a complete loser.

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.
