Pros

Open store environment. Friendly Co-Workers. Good tech for employees to use @ work.

Cons

Was frequently asked to scan items that were late to locate on my employee phone that full time employees gave me. This bumped my metrics down & had no effect on theirs’. Many times it was not my fault & felt I was being used to make the rest of the team look better; as well as contributing to a “hire then fire” burn through of employees. Management did not give me any clarity on when I was going to be seasonally discharged. I was told I’m a great help by my managers & then got no work for 2 weeks followed by an email @ 12:06 AM from an automated system telling me I’ve “been terminated under no fault of my own” Never heard from anyone at the store again. Very disheartening and now I shop at GameStop for my tech/gaming items.

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.
