Pros

Salary was decent, hours were great. It was fun getting to know the customers and products. It was very satisfying to recommend the right product for the job.

Cons

Training was almost non-existent. The company couldn't afford to send someone else to my store to cover me so I could attend the official company training offered from a training store, so they put someone else through it, then replaced me with them instead. They complain that stores spend too much money, but chew you out when you find ways to cut costs at your location. For example, I had an older printer model that used some funky ink cartridges. Where they wanted me to get them from didn't always have them in stock, and when they did, they cost an arm and a leg. A local office supply store could get them to me in less than twenty-four hours at half the cost, but I was chewed out if I went that route.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
