Pros

The Discount is killer. I'll buy my accessories here because a $100 HDMI cable costs employees $5, but major products does not have much markup (so buy those elsewhere)...Fellow employees can be cool to hangout/BS with during the day but it all depends on the store and how chill the managers are...The only advantage to being a low level employee is that when it hits the fan and the store doesn't make numbers, its managers who get it before line levels do, my store went through several managers after several months of poor performance.

Cons

It is most certainly like a high school with petty nonsense constantly going on...Management does most certainly play favorites and you just need to learn its an unfortunate part of the job.

Pros

Working with the customers was a great experience. The training you recieve is great. Can be a great place to work if the managment has the right mindset (i.e. focusing on both business and emplyee wellbeing). The discount is great.

Cons

Being pressured to sell everything from the extended warranty to accessories to printers needs to be reworked. It's commissioned sales without the commission. Seriously. If the base price of a computer package (CPU, monitor, & printer) is $500, your expected to attach ~$350-$500 worth of stuff to it. If you achieve that goal, the best thing you get is a pat on the back.
