Pros

One of the most flexible work environments I've ever seen. Salary and benefits are outstanding. People are fun. My Director empowers me to make decisions and own those decisions. High energy, gorgeous campus.

Cons

Sr. Leadership just can't seem to get it together, particularly in HR. Things are a little better under Brian Dunn, but I still at times can't believe a $50B company operates the way that we do.

Pros

Benefits are great! Medical, Dental, Vision, Matching 401K and Tuition reimbursement. Employee Accommodation and discounts. Development is highly encouraged for those that seek it out. They provide a lot of resources. Compensation is good.

Cons

Sometimes you run into bad managers. So its a good idea to do research before taking a new position.

Pros

Good Employee Discount on Accessories, Generous Discount on house-brand items (Dynex, RocketFish, Insignia, Init), Flexible Hours, Some Great Co-Workers, Pretty Good Management, Fun Environment to Work In, Great Customers that make your day, Awesome products to play with, Good break room at my location

Cons

Poor discount on major items (Computers, TVs, Cameras), Mediocre compensation, Minimal Training, Pushing Attachments (Black Tie, Magazines, Reward Zone, Credit Card, HDMI Cables), Curmudgeon Customers, Customers that think they can ignore policy, Customers that pay with 20 low-value gift cards (I'm not kidding, it happened to me twice. Once during the holiday rush, and once after the holidays), Check Verification Policy (writing checks is slow enough already, add waiting for a manager to verify it), Co-workers that tell you the opposite of what management said
