Pros

The pay is higher than some other retailers, and the management can be good depending on the store.

Cons

The memberships are idiotic. It is a very sales oriented job, and you are expected to try and sell a $200 yearly membership with things even as small as a $6 HDMI chord. It just doesn't make sense. The store manager was absolutely horrible, one of the worst experiences I've ever had in my retail career. The other management was good for the most part however.

Pros

Great salary , bonus and RSUs

Cons

Management still thinks of products as projects and doesn't fund appropriately. Some areas are ahead in tech, some areas aren't. Too many ex-Accenture VPs and up. Hard to promote junior employees, yet VPs/ SVPs promoted frequently. DO BOTH. Weird communication across pyramids.
