Pros

Decent pay, decent discount...... the hours are ok....its a job.....lots of younger people with more energy to work, and to get things done

Cons

Long hours, not enough pay for experience, too much of the blame game from management, when you need tools to get the job done you constantly have to fight with managers for the tools to do the job, management just wants you to sell constanly without regard to the customers real needs or desires....too many people who get moved up or get let go for little to no reason other than favoritsm....the managers really need to get a clue and not constantly try to micromanage employess in their jobs when the employess have way more experience than that manager....if you are experienced and knowledgeable look elsewhere for employment.....

Pros

They have a really good discount and they do not expect a whole lot out of you unless you screw up

Cons

They are too big and often forget about you (the) small guy. It is hard to advance in this company.

Pros

It is a fantastic learning experience for those interested in working with computers on a regular basis. The discount is amazing too!

Cons

Some of the customers are just irrational, you definitely have to be able to work with all kinds of different people at this job.
