      Pros

      -very good employee discounts -good part time job if you are looking for one -get to try out a lot of new gadgets before a lot of other people

      Cons

      -very low compensation -management only cares about selling extended service plans and YOU WILL be criticized if you make a sale without one -very few full time positions -deal with a lot of angry customers who have bad experiences with Sony -so much emphasize on selling warranties that your coworkers may steal sales away from you

      An okay place as your first job

      Pros

      Sony is a well known brand to put in your resume. People here are friendly and well educated. I like my colleagues. I enjoyed working in the team. It is an okay place to start your career with.

      Cons

      Very low pay and very slow promotion. Pay is far below industry average, that's why people kept leaving but the company don't care, they think they have plenty to hire from labor market due to the good company brand. Almost needs at least 3 years to be promoted in every level, from general staff to supervisor, than to assistant manager, than to manager, than to senior manager. So even if you are super excellent, it takes you around 10 years to be a manager, which will kill your motivation. The job quality is not so high, creativity is not encouraged therefore people do the same works every year just to ensure there's no risk. Efficiency is not encouraged either, so people need to do a lot of repeated work and attend so many meetings. The workload is high but actually there're many tasks that are not contributive at all.
