Pros

Management at my store is absolutely fantastic - in my part time position they have no problem approving of days off or availability changes. Lots of positive feedback from them on how to improve in my position as a Computer/Tablet Sales. Also the company gives an awesome employee discount, and it seems a lot of folks get promoted to new positions often.

Cons

At worst, sometimes it seems like you can be underpaid for the amount of product knowledge or skill that you have. Some positions in the company are unstable and people seem to get laid off at uncomfortably regular intervals.

Pros

Flexible hours, easy job in AC, employee discount. Internal postings were available that I could apply to higher corporate roles for if id wanted to advance with them. The micromarket manager, Brandon, is good at what he does and so is the store EM or whatever they've reorg'd store manager to be called. The mgmt in general is eager to help and support you in getting better numbers if you are open and talk with them.

Cons

Very few. Maybe pressure occasionally to get card apps or boost your numbers but if you perform well enough this is really not an issue. The products honestly sell themselves if you know them even somewhat well and can get good at conversing naturally with your customers and identifying what they need. If you have secondhand guilt over credit cards or cant comfortably talk about them you may struggle. There is a template they follow on how to sell. It works tbh. Some people believe that it feels fake, I disagree. Personally I think theres a line you can walk to still be authentic/yourself while integrating their approach.
