Pros

Easy job, very easy to get promoted if you have a strong work ethic or are good with customers/sales.

Cons

Lot of favoritism with management and employees. More needs to be done with providing product knowledge to employees. Company tends to focus more on "care plus" sales technique and absolutely nothing on knowledge of the products they are selling.

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
