Pros

Being able to work all new computers! Being able to help people find what they need. The discount of course.

Cons

Have to offer the credit card over and over. I was told I wasn't asking enough when I had already asked 2 times during a transaction. They pulled me aside and asked if I even wanted to work there. Have to try and sell everyone their tts. If you don't sell enough they have management come over and watch you the entire time.

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.
