Pros

Discount is about it !

Cons

Experience varies between stores. Some stores upper management (GM and AM) are great to work force and drive a culture and team. While at other stores they will fail to even make schedules in a timely manner for their employees...such a basic task. ZERO accountability from upper management makes a work environment where the people who care get everything dumped on them and the lazy still somehow have jobs. Getting better positions in the company is more about who you know and being buddies. If you work for and care about your store, you will not be fairly paid for what you do outside of you normal job responsibilities, but hey if you don't do your core responsibilities you get paid pretty well.

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.
