Pros

Employee discount - normally 10% above the company's cost or an item; Lots of cool electronics to play with, young and energetic management

Cons

Irregular schedules, working most if not all holidays. Intense pressure for add-on sales (i.e. adding accessories to TVs, computers, etc). Felt like a commission environment even though this is a commission free.

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.
