Pros

Reasonable starting wage, fair discount if you're into that sort of thing , that's about all the good I can say

Cons

Forced to shove warranties and frequent shoppers cards down peoples throats whether they wanted them or not, then were reprimanded if they didn't want them, unclear on job duties, you think your signing on as a cashier when intact you're required to be a naggy salesmen

Pros

All in all, it was a good place to work, especially as a student. Manager was nice enough to give me the employee discount after just a week of working there. The people there were nice to work with and working environment was pretty lax as well.

Cons

Very disorganized. I had three different seniors/managers that would tell me to do one thing, one after the other, and would get scolded from the first manager, when he returned to see that I was not doing what he had originally told me to do. Then the second manager, then the third. Felt like no matter what you did, you were going to get criticized from somebody.

Pros

The discount is pretty good on items that aren't major electronics The customer interaction can be enjoyable at times Special release parties... i.e. midnight releases

Cons

Not a good discount, if any, on major electronics Not enough hours, especially during holidays because they've hired too many seasonal help
