Pros

Worked in sales, as long as you are actually knowledgeable about computers, parts, and peripherals its a pretty easy stuff. Its really fun if you have an interest the aforementioned categories as well. You can meet a lot of very knowledgeable people who are often very willing to share their insights.

Cons

You'll be working more than you expect. Also, the politics really suck if you want to climb the ladder. Being friendly with the higher ups and dumping situations which waste your time is the only way to move up. If a customer is indecisive or needs a lot of attention its unfortunately going to be very detrimental if you really spend the time and effort to help them.

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.
