Pros

-They pay above minimum wage -PLENTY of hours during holiday season -Very respectful of school hours, other jobs, and just general life. -Great treatment from company -Plenty of opportunities to get extra hours (volunteer for midnight openings!) -Store I worked had lots of drawings for cash or lunch or rewards for selling a certain amount or signing up a certain number of credit cards. -Lunches you get paid to go to. -They want you to get paid for coming in and filling out paper work. Awesome! -ETK

Cons

-Management expects you to follow customers around and bother them to buy something. I've heard a few customer complaints on this. -Most of the people in the computer section were lazy towards their jobs.

Pros

Flexible hours, easy job in AC, employee discount. Internal postings were available that I could apply to higher corporate roles for if id wanted to advance with them. The micromarket manager, Brandon, is good at what he does and so is the store EM or whatever they've reorg'd store manager to be called. The mgmt in general is eager to help and support you in getting better numbers if you are open and talk with them.

Cons

Very few. Maybe pressure occasionally to get card apps or boost your numbers but if you perform well enough this is really not an issue. The products honestly sell themselves if you know them even somewhat well and can get good at conversing naturally with your customers and identifying what they need. If you have secondhand guilt over credit cards or cant comfortably talk about them you may struggle. There is a template they follow on how to sell. It works tbh. Some people believe that it feels fake, I disagree. Personally I think theres a line you can walk to still be authentic/yourself while integrating their approach.
