Pros

Employee discount - normally 10% above the company's cost or an item; Lots of cool electronics to play with, young and energetic management

Cons

Irregular schedules, working most if not all holidays. Intense pressure for add-on sales (i.e. adding accessories to TVs, computers, etc). Felt like a commission environment even though this is a commission free.

Pros

Good compensation, decent hours, treated with respect if you work hard, there pretty lenient on whether or timeliness, you can come in late a lot but if you do your job right that will usually offset being 1-5 minutes late everyday, everybody there is very friendle and willing to help and they bring a real team aspect to the store when doing things. THEY HAVE THE BEST DISCOUNT EVER, COST+ 5%!

Cons

not as many hours because of the recent recession, general managers play no role in day to day store activities, sometimes the culture can get very annoying when you want to go to work and do your job and go home
