Pros

If you want to either have a job with a great discount or career potential then here is your place. When I first started I did it as a job for now, but after a couple of years now I love everything about it. Everyday I learn something new, not just about the technology, but in business and how this multi-billion dollar company works to make it happen. I love technology and teaching everyday people what things are, how they work, and how it could benefit their lives. One of my favorite things about working here is that there is no commission, its not pressure sales, and your not going to get fired for not getting everything on every transaction (although it makes you look better and feels good).

Cons

Being yelled at sometimes by customers, smelling very bad breathe and body odor at times, or dealing with some very incompetent learners. Since it is technology and it changes so fast and so often you do have some backlash by people trying to buy something they like. You need to be patient or you will lose your mind with some people.

Pros

It is fun. There's a lot of opportunity. Space to growth. Lots of development.

Cons

Too political at times when it comes to who gets promoted. Sometimes it's just about talent and knowledge, not who you know.
