Pros

Benefits, discounts if you need it, Great training for managers.

Cons

50hr work weeks (10hr shifts each day), ridiculous meetings at 7am when you aren't scheduled until 2pm, talking about "shareholder expectations" with kids who work 5hrs every 2 weeks, and then being forced to fire them when the GM wants to give the hrs to someone else. Having your position deleted across the country and having to re-apply for something else.

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.
