Pros

Great pay scale compared to similar job functions. If you can get in touch with the right people, you can move up quickly. This all depends on your manager, however.

Cons

Highly political. It's all about who you know. The management says it isn't about seniority for promotions, but you will find out that this is *all* its about.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
