Pros

Good retail experience for a young person. It is a nice job to have while attending a University or a college. If you like working around people it's a great place to start. Also if you don't like high pressure sales jobs then this is right up your alley.

Cons

No commission even though you are pushed to sell as if there was. The schedules in retail are terrible and this job was no different. Every week you have a different schedule and you tend to work busier days (fri, sat, sun) kiss your weekends goodbye.

Pros

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.
