Pros

Good discount Friendly coworkers 401k Good general manager- Michael Kugel

Cons

I had worked there for a little over two years in the front. Unfortunately, at that time management wasn't great. I had a good lead and supervisor, but the manager, Stephanie, at the time, was not very nice. After having showed up to every shift with no call out for two years, I needed to take off for a family emergency. Upon calling the company hours before my shift, as we were told to do so, she told me that "I need to be responsible and attend my shift", as they only schedule one person in the front most days. In the front, it is rare you will get your legal, 15 minute break and will be met with frustration when asked to take it, as someone must cover your position. After treating the company, my coworkers and management with respect, it was disheartening to be talked down to in this way.

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.
