Pros

They train you to be pretty knowledgeable about what you are selling. My co-workers and leaders were all very welcoming and nice.

Cons

There was not super strict pressure from my leaders (except for one) to sell things. It is pretty challenging trying to sell content, warranties and magazines with every customer. Because, and this is what my leader said, "with every 10 customers at least 1 will say yes to what you are selling". I still don't believe that. Customers feel bombarded at the check out, which I hated. Then you have goals to hit when selling all of it. It's just a lot of things to remember and sell and push onto these customers and I was only a cashier!!

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.
