Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling depending on manager Good Pay for the type of job learn a bunch, lots of additional training if willing to put forth the effort. 10% employee discount, must deduct amount of purchase from pay check limited up to 70% take home pay. Instant profit sharing that increases with time (1 year = 2.5% of take home pay, 2Y/5.0%, 3Y/7.5%, 4Y,10%, 5Y/12.5%, 6Y/15%). Weekend bonus of $2.50/HR if paid hourly.

Cons

Micro management from corporate offices, poor treatment, no understanding of personal situations involving life events. Part time team members NO PAID Holidays even when forced to work. They will PUNISH HARD if you mess up. If you damage their property even if its on accident you will be charged, loose a walkietalkie your charged $250. Accidentally brake a product they will charge you, customers are free to brake things and not be charged however. AUDIO RECORDING AT THE SERVICE DESK- even if its illegal in IL to record audio of conversations. Video cameras at not to prevent theft they are used to spy on employees.
