Pros

The discount is one of the main reasons I stick around when I really start to get sick of it. Occasionally, customers are so ridiculous that it just makes your day. My co-workers are pretty cool for the most part and we like to joke around and have fun while making sure customers are taken care of.

Cons

Management is able to get away with way too much. It's no wonder the company is restructuring when Supervisors and Managers walk around the store on their phones all day. Most of the time, issues that you have that aren't HR related are ignored.

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.
