Pros

Being non-commissioned is relaxing if you have other things going on in your life, such as school. Management is usually very nice and supportive.

Cons

This isn't a place where you can make money if you try harder. My store recently laid off much of its full time leadership staff. I also got the feeling sometimes that management talks behind your back.

Pros

The technology is interesting and working with customers is good.

Cons

Living in poverty. Erratic and generally poor management. Most jobs are part time 10 to 20 hours per week.

Pros

Good Employee Discount on Accessories, Generous Discount on house-brand items (Dynex, RocketFish, Insignia, Init), Flexible Hours, Some Great Co-Workers, Pretty Good Management, Fun Environment to Work In, Great Customers that make your day, Awesome products to play with, Good break room at my location

Cons

Poor discount on major items (Computers, TVs, Cameras), Mediocre compensation, Minimal Training, Pushing Attachments (Black Tie, Magazines, Reward Zone, Credit Card, HDMI Cables), Curmudgeon Customers, Customers that think they can ignore policy, Customers that pay with 20 low-value gift cards (I'm not kidding, it happened to me twice. Once during the holiday rush, and once after the holidays), Check Verification Policy (writing checks is slow enough already, add waiting for a manager to verify it), Co-workers that tell you the opposite of what management said
