Culture of Abuse

Pros

Incentives to reach sales goals, decent benefit plan if you reach full time, hours can be reasonable

Cons

Systemic culture of abuse that goes several levels up (above district and regional management and HR). An employee and get exceptional reviews, get employee of the month several times, hit sales goals, and go above and beyond the job description and still be told that “women just aren’t suited to sales”, that their “morals are holding them back from management”, their accurate health and safety reports could get the “manager in trouble”, and end up getting fired without cause three days after filing disability paperwork with the company. I was actively told that I wouldn’t be allowed to move up or out of the company while I was there, and just waited to get fired.

Pros

The discount is good, depends on the item. Pay is solid, but barely any opportunity for any kind of a raise and no bonuses. Working with tech is fun, and meeting cool customers and helping them can be rewarding.

Cons

Management tends to be a joke. Terrible communication, and they are typically puppets that just do whatever the next person above them says without any personal identity or questioning. Corporate does not care at all about base level employees. Randomly dissolving positions without offering an alternative for displaced workers, getting rid of any kind of a bonus, ridiculous sales goals that are near impossible to reach, and boring training without real engagement.
