      Pros

      You don't have to be much more than competent to be above average.

      Cons

      This is not a tech position, this is a sales position, and management will be all over you if you don't hit budget. A real PC tech position pays more and you have to put up with a lot less.

      Pros

      Meet lots of new people. The customers are really nice...well most. It's a fun and most of the time a fast-pace environment which I love!

      Cons

      You do come across some difficult/mean customers sometimes, but it's part of the job. If you know how to work with all kinds of people, it won't be that big of a deal for you.

      Pros

      Great employee discounts. Starting pay slightly better than most entry level sales associate jobs. Friendly place to work. Chances for advancement.

      Cons

      Have to stand for long periods of time, only one 15 minute break for shift less than 7 hours. Only 30 minutes (unpaid) if greater than 7.5.
