Pros

Management at my store is absolutely fantastic - in my part time position they have no problem approving of days off or availability changes. Lots of positive feedback from them on how to improve in my position as a Computer/Tablet Sales. Also the company gives an awesome employee discount, and it seems a lot of folks get promoted to new positions often.

Cons

At worst, sometimes it seems like you can be underpaid for the amount of product knowledge or skill that you have. Some positions in the company are unstable and people seem to get laid off at uncomfortably regular intervals.

Pros

Coworkers are nice enough most of the time. The discount is nice. They're pretty flexible with schedules

Cons

Management doesn't know what they're doing. The pay is bad. Most of the employees are young and act as such. Unreasonable goals, and management breathes down your neck. They'll constantly promise "leadership training" and "advancement opportunity" but nothing ever happens. The sales tactics are terrible. They say the care about customers but every action says it's all just about the metrics. They're constantly cutting costs.
