Fun job with great benefits, very little appreciation for your work though.

Sales associate

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to stay in the loop on all the new and cool electronic gadgets that come out.

Cons

There is no room for promotions even if you are highly qualified, has a high turn over ration because the base pay is very poor. Managers tend to think they know it all and set blame on others very hypocritical actions taken by the managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very established company that takes "process" seriously. At all levels they strive for quality and adapt the latest trends in most efficient and productive management. Obviously, a well-recognized name and looks good on the resume

Cons

It is a big corporation, finding a place for yourself where you can be a significant contributor is up to you

Excellent company with product lines to be proud of, but bogged down by corporate structure

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a very wide range of products and services available, which means that the potential that you'll be contributing to the launch or sustainability of popular retail product is very high.

Cons

The company is big, slow and has very poor in-business communication - so it takes approval on many levels just to get anything accomplished. The corporate structure is very organized when it comes to management and executives, but at the average employee level there is little to no direction.
