Pros

The pay is good and their not particularly demanding. It's a good place to lay low while you're studying for bigger and better things.

Cons

Incompetent management. This may not be true of every location, but I was one of the few people in the building with a college education. The managers survived by being superior at lying to each other, customers, and upper management.

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.
