Pros

The culture of the company, work relationships formed over time, the career advancement potential (sometimes), variety of work rolls available in the field. Best in the consumer electronics field, especially compared to the train wreck that is Circuit City right now. The Local leadership and management teams.

Cons

Life Balance is always an ongoing challenge, constant re-orgs over the years that have resulted in major uncertainty for the future and many people in positions they don't understand, especially at the corporate office. This has also resulted in a very difficult environment to navigate when getting business support or answers to questions.

Pros

Great environment--lots of cool people. Everyone is really cool and knows a lot about the products. The working environment is very nice, and the store is laid back, but not too laid back. Management is usually cool, and willing to listen and help, but it really depends on what store you are working in, they all are different.

Cons

The pressure to sell to customers who don't want it. Management encourages you to push products, service plans, and credit cards on people who say no. They tend to be pushy and intrusive, asking personal questions and stuff. The environment is very male-centric.
