Pros

Excellent benefits Good discount Fun environment Good for students because of the "floating" schedule, and you're usually able to schedule around classes. Work with a lot of interesting people, good place to make friends

Cons

Non-commissioned, so you can make a $20k sale, and you're still paid less than $15/hr Hourly wages are capped, in order to advance pay you must go outside of sales Managers can be stingy about raises Occaisional favoritism for promotions

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.
