Pros

can see and test the latest electronics and games. meet some cool people. chicks dig gadget knowledge. can buy stuff with no problems and no waiting.

Cons

trying to push warranties and other crap products onto people who really do not need them. Really, what is the point of the magazines? we are an electronics store, not a bookstore. Stupid management always trying to screw the customers. The extended warranty is a joke and no one in their right mind should ever buy them. complete rip-off

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.
