Pros

Discount was decent. The paid but useless meetings were a nice break from hassling ignorant customers.

Cons

I received no useful product knowledge, just did little computer slideshows on poorly working Imacs. There is a very complicated "not on commission, might as well be" numbers game in which you could sell something expensive and not have it matter to your insane quotas. As a result of this, my coworkers were cutthroat and unhelpful and barely showed me anything. I had an attitude anybody who set foot in the store should be helped which I was mocked for. My manager took over a department in which he knew nothing about the product. I observed department managers pushing insane add-ons to people who didn't need them. It was clear that management had contempt for most customers. Security guys were rude and bullyish. Breakroom had mostly inoperable snack/soda machines

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.
