Pros

The benefits were great, I was able to have surgery done on my teeth and get mental health diagnoses for pennies on the dollar with the deductible in place. Sales experience here looks phenomenal at any other sales-related position, some places actively look for employees from this company. At least they used to, anyways.

Cons

Good luck getting full time, this company would erase all full time spots and make it so only teenagers could work here. In general, you're entirely a number, a mechanism for management to sell crappy credit cards and bad memberships to people who don't really want or need them. If you do become a supervisor or manager, you're placing unnecessary responsibility on yourself and placing a target on your back to get unceremoniously fired when the CEO decides she wants another bonus. There's a reason the blueshirts have a joke about her performing "Thanos Snaps". Your pay caps at $17.25/hr if you're not a supe or manager, you'll get maybe 32hrs/wk consistently if you're lucky and it's not holiday season, and you'll be dealing with some of the most entitled people of all time.

Pros

Good employee discount and work atmosphere, not that you wont have to bust your bum, but at least its in good company.

Cons

Work ethic is sometimes missing and a few people do the work of the entire team because of the "family" atmosphere.

Pros

Tech related discounts and tech focused environment

Cons

Credit card pushing and support plan pushing is more important than actually helping customers.
