Pros

The employee discount was excellent, as were the bonuses and incentives. Lots of options to learn and grow, provided you continued to beat to the company drum. Tuition reimbursement and leaders who can and often do listen effectively to your problems. Company very forgiving on time off requests, and really good with work life balance. I'll miss this the most.

Cons

High high turnover! Part-time associates pretty much have no hope of becoming full time. Some quality people left on PT for many years just because a manager has a negative personal opinion of them. Anonymous survey not truly anonymous, bad comments are rooted out by senior managers and directors, and those who say them are let go for "business reasons". If you're not willing to play the political game, you can kiss your job good bye. Not a career place, management and lower rung associates alike are churned through regularly to keep things fresh. Consider it a stop along your career path, and enjoy it while it lasts. Company uses cliché values that don't really mean anything, they're just buzz words.

Pros

Decent benefits, pleasant work environment for the most part

Cons

Even as a member of the Geek Squad you are pressured about sales. I am pressured to meet performance targets instead of providing services and solutions that best fit the needs of the customer.
