Great opportunity

Pros

Lots of growth opportunity and ability to move between all the sister companies.

Cons

If you are working in a store than the hours are less than favorable because it is retail. The fact that it is retail in itself is a con and can get a little tiresome.

Depends on your local management

Recommend

Pros

They offer a generous discount for all company stores and a great merch card to all employees, FT and PT. They are negotiable regarding pay, and fairly generous for retail- they may ask what you're expecting, and I recommend throwing out a higher number than most retail jobs. The company's ideals are great, and the merchandise is mostly legit technical gear, so it's a product worth standing behind.

Cons

I really think it depends on your local management- can really make or break the job, and set the tone for the morale of the store. If they are inexperienced, condescending or clique-y, it will make for a miserable setting. I can definitely see how the GM got the position, just wonder how many people he/she has stepped on in his/her career. Store is overstaffed, with often a dozen sales associates on duty at one time, and high pressure to hound each customer like crazy. A couple managers are like hawks, micromanaging your every move, and butting in at times where it's actually harmful to the store operations and customer relations.
