Pros

Discounts, incentives on tech for trainings, More than the minimum wage

Cons

Managers made it seem like life or death to reach goals when we never got any kind of bonus out of it. Not commissions based pay so you could work as hard as you could but Bert from Appliances has been there 10 years and just collects a paycheck so you'd never reach whatever the "bonus" was for the store.

Pros

Coworkers are nice enough most of the time. The discount is nice. They're pretty flexible with schedules

Cons

Management doesn't know what they're doing. The pay is bad. Most of the employees are young and act as such. Unreasonable goals, and management breathes down your neck. They'll constantly promise "leadership training" and "advancement opportunity" but nothing ever happens. The sales tactics are terrible. They say the care about customers but every action says it's all just about the metrics. They're constantly cutting costs.
