Pros

Really fun work environment, a lot of young people which was great for me. I started off as seasonal and got a TON of hours (working 40+hrs a wk and days on end). Pay was alright and based semi on experience (8.50 was the highest for seasonal). AWESOME discounts!

Cons

As seasonal, they work you a ton but then when I got hired on as part time, I got cut down to less than fifteen hours a wk. A lot of it was b/c our mobile mgr left and they switched someone in who was an ops sup for years and knew nothing about mobile which was a nightmare. Managers def play faves and there's a lot of negativity within upper level mgmt. They also expect you to fill in for other depts sometimes when you're not even trained there which is rough.

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.
