Not Bad

Pros

Great discount. o. k. managers. decent pay for what you are doing. Coolest technology available always coming in. Not to bad for retail.

Cons

Items are over-priced and a limited selection to provide the customer when they come in. Wal-mart always carries items at a cheaper price and employees hear the blunt of it.

Pros

Coworkers/managers were nice, good discount, train/help in multiple departments (especially if you work in a less busy department), fairly easy

Cons

Redundant "pitches" (despite management not thinking of them as pitches, thats exactly what they are), forced to push certain products/services when clearly not needed.
