Pros

Great job working in the field. Downtime while driving. Great if you love helping people. Competitive pay in the field to similar roles in other companies. I'll forever be grateful I was employed here and given this opportunity.

Cons

CEO Corie Barry is changing and ruining everything. No more bonuses based on performance. Last annual raise was a low flat rate while it is normally based on performance. (Taking away all incentive) Micromanaging is getting out of control. SELL MORE TECH SUPPORT! No more overtime allowed, but upping efficiency (more jobs in less time). Customers are more often just treating us like part of a corporation and not as people. It makes me sick to see how they're treating store employees. Somehow we made bank during COVID, but are laying people off and rehiring these same people back as seasonal.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
