Pros

5% Overcost Employee Discount, Great Accommodations from partners like Apple, Bose, Shure, and ATI to name a few, Management is very practical and flexible, time and labor management (like days off) are a lot easier to deal with, meetings are short, sweet, and to the point, and you get properly and effectively trained.

Cons

They keep a close watch on your sales, are hesitant when you ask for a non-lunch break, push branded payments a bit, supervisors can be real idiots, and closing duties can take up to two hours after the store has closed.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
