Pros

discount is amazing. co workers were pretty nice for the most part. You get to see many of the latest products come out.

Cons

Store managers were pretty incompetent. The store really pushed getting people to buy extra things that they didn't need (useless warranties, magazine subscriptions, etc). not very good work/life balance.

Pros

You get a great discount. You get to learn about things that practically apply to everyday life.

Cons

The day can drag on when people are not visiting the store. Management places lots of pressure on supervisors to hit numbers. The supervisors pass this along to the specialists in each department. To people who are ill-equpped handle sed pressure it has the potential to be stressful.
