Pros

It was okay working there, they promote a lot from the inside which is cool. I started the same day as one of my friends making 8.75 but I only worked there for 7 months. He still works there two years later and got promoted to Install Supervisor and makes around $15 an hour now.

Cons

The bosses are overall lame and didn't give credit where it was due. They would only notice when something wasn't done right and then complain about that.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
