Pros

Great environment--lots of cool people. Everyone is really cool and knows a lot about the products. The working environment is very nice, and the store is laid back, but not too laid back. Management is usually cool, and willing to listen and help, but it really depends on what store you are working in, they all are different.

Cons

The pressure to sell to customers who don't want it. Management encourages you to push products, service plans, and credit cards on people who say no. They tend to be pushy and intrusive, asking personal questions and stuff. The environment is very male-centric.

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
