Pros

Discounts, incentives on tech for trainings, More than the minimum wage

Cons

Managers made it seem like life or death to reach goals when we never got any kind of bonus out of it. Not commissions based pay so you could work as hard as you could but Bert from Appliances has been there 10 years and just collects a paycheck so you'd never reach whatever the "bonus" was for the store.

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.
