Pros

Excellent pay, great staff discounts and benefits, fun management teams, young and friendly co-workers. Busy during rush periods in the years( eg. Back to School, Christmas/Boxing Day) but otherwise, everyday is laid back and easy.

Cons

Even though the associates are not on commission, they expect you to sell a lot of service plans or your hours will get cut. Little to no room to advance.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
