Miscommunication between managers

Mac sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Learn new things every month about products - Pay is good if you build or sell computers everyday - Constant flow of work brain storming - Employee Discount

Cons

- Money sucks once you hit commission, turns into 4/hr plus only 2% on everything you sell and 1% pool. If you don't work in building computers or selling them, you essentially must sell 3,000 dollars worth of stuff to make a decent wage. - Miscommunication between managers causes nothing to get done and a lot of finger pointing. - Many mistakes when making weekly schedules causing several people to work less than they should because managers are too lazy or proud to admit they made mistakes. - Barely any recognition and a lot of micro management discussions for the littlest things (ie: customer left a coffee cup in another aisle and you didn't see it)

Long hours, Micromanagement, OK pay

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work 10 hours a day and sell service plans, you're fine and can make $30-40K in Peripherals.

Cons

Company and management flat out does not care about you. You're a replaceable number. You have to come in and stay later making $4 an hour stocking shelves. Good for a young kid with a lot of time on their hands.

Pros

Honestly? The only thing was the co-workers. Even if wasn't for them this place would be unbearable.

Cons

High turnover rate They will hire in too many people and cut down your hours Management is a joke Customers are terrible They will make promises of a better position but end up screwing you and hiring some one knew to fill the position you were going for.
