Pros

I was with the company for over 5 years, the benefits are great and you learn a LOT there. Plus you get good connections for your next job there if you wanna go into a tech career.

Cons

Pay could be way better, revolving door of employees, CEO is focused on firing people and keeping money in her pockets. Super understaffed and can be overwhelming.

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.
