Pros

Employee discount of course, and seeing/working with the latest technology. Management for the most part is good, and if your store does good the "Blue crew bucks" bonus can be nice.

Cons

Well, for one the section of my store is understaffed during peak hours (which are seemingly at random times). The job stress can be too much to handle sometimes, when you are working with 2 clients at the same time, trying to answer the phone that's ringing off the hook and somehow managing to repair computers as well. And when management calls agents to the floor to help sell computers they wonder why we get pissed.

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.
