Pros

Good benefits. The health benefits as a full time employee are great, and stock options and 401K are great., Good discount on electronics. Good place to meet people and learn basic strategies on selling.

Cons

High Stress. Management often would have different expectations, and often were not expressed in a proper way. Often times expectations were changed on a whim. Many times were passed up on promotions because someone less qualified had sucked up to management. No set schedule.

Pros

amazing employee discount, some co workers are ok, cross training for different departments available could lead to better sales jobs once you leave.

Cons

Horrible managment at my particular store. Treated employees as if they were 3 years old, constantly worried about making metrics. So much so that they would intrude on the sale and scare customers from buying anything. Also there isn't a organized training program so employees are kind of left to fend for themselves. Pay raises are a joke as well.

Pros

Just got hired, feels like I have been working there a long time. The managers and associates are very spirited.

Cons

Not enough hours, I just got hired and there were about 40 other people that were hired with me. Also, the pay isn't the greatest.
