Pros

-They pay above minimum wage -PLENTY of hours during holiday season -Very respectful of school hours, other jobs, and just general life. -Great treatment from company -Plenty of opportunities to get extra hours (volunteer for midnight openings!) -Store I worked had lots of drawings for cash or lunch or rewards for selling a certain amount or signing up a certain number of credit cards. -Lunches you get paid to go to. -They want you to get paid for coming in and filling out paper work. Awesome! -ETK

Cons

-Management expects you to follow customers around and bother them to buy something. I've heard a few customer complaints on this. -Most of the people in the computer section were lazy towards their jobs.

Pros

Great management Helpful Staff Opportunities to grow

Cons

If you start out on registers up front it can be difficult to learn on the floor and find a department especially if you are not selling enough credit cards and memberships

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.
