Pros

When I started eight years ago this was a great place to be you could make money hand over fist if you were a good salesman and knowledgeable

Cons

Over the course of eight years management has slowly taking away benefits and means of earning money changing commission structures changing insurance benefits etc. etc. lowering and lowering your possible income eventually the company wants to go off of commission altogether and be just like Best Buy. My department used to be sales associates age ranges of 30 to 60 over eight years employees get younger and younger and now I am working with people right out of high school. In the position that took me four years to get into. They don’t care about their employees the way they used to my family was driving in the early years and as time goes on it got harder and harder for my family while I was employed there and I finally had to change employers. They also discriminate against anyone who has a personal life like a family to take care of and they highly prefer the single bachelor. With no obligations

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
