Pros

Mostly flexible scheduling, easy job. Lower level management is decent.

Cons

Sales--between pushing the Rewards card, the Item of the Month, warranties, protection plans, service plans, the customer has just about had it with you by the time they leave the store. You are frequently reminded that you are not meeting your sales quotas. Minimum wage. Often scheduled for four or five hours at a time, rather than a full day. Management was slow to respond when needed.

Pros

Good to get experience as a first job

Cons

Small store so there's only 4 people working at a time. Gets hectic during busy seasons and the manager typically hides in the backroom.
