Pros

For the most part, most of the managers and employees are great to work with. They always try and do little things to increase the enjoyment off hours. Like have a game night or tournaments. If you need work with social skills you would learn TONS. I believe that everyone should learn sales some time in there life. It's a skill and can come very useful in many peoples lives. There are pretty hot chicks that work there so you do get to spend a lot of time with them. Most of the managers are pretty cool to work with.

Cons

They push sales like its nothing. Every single department has something that you have to sell, or promote. Even cashiers, and media people. You have to be a good at sales your going to have a terrible time. They want you to sell everything. Example i worked in computer sales. In one transaction they would want me to sell the computer, printer, ink, paper, surge protector, back up battery, geek squad, anti-virus, AOL, mouse, keyboard, service plan, flash drive, and then try and get them to go over the media so that everyone there can try to sell them stuff too.

Pros

It's fun and having Geek Squad on my resume has won me more interviews than anything else.

Cons

It can be pretty busy and always understaffed, which is annoying.
