Pros

Fun. Get to service computers and truly make a difference in others lives sometimes. When I had the right team, I was growing on a personal level and as a person. A place where your extensive consumer tech knowledge will be appreciated.

Cons

Terrible pay. Zero growth opportunity. Weaponized personal growth. Zero incentive to do better both as a person and in any first line role. Constant restructuring and layoffs. Poor job security. Higher level positions were filled before they were listed internally. Inconsistent scheduling. Plenty of dry promotions.

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.
