Pros

Coworkers were awesome, very diverse. Lots of team effort. Considering such awful Management, employees were pretty cool and down to earth.

Cons

Having to digest corporates racist and discriminating perspective when approaching consumers was absolutely sickening. "If Juan and Maria walk in our store, we know they don't have that much money to spend.." "If Jill and mike walk in our store we need to up sell on all our products because we know they can afford it.." Bunch of b.s. And those ridiculous store meetings that would feed us all that crap, can u say BRAINWASHING!!! Ugh....

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.
