Pros

Was a great company to work for, with many loyal employees that had been there for forever. Great culture, great leadership, reasonable benefits.

Cons

Ever since Corey Barry took over as CEO, the company has completely lost it's culture, the customer experience has suffered greatly, and all the long time employees are gone. There have been cuts nearly quarterly, it seems, and no one is safe. More and more is expected of everyone, but with less training, less resources, and no stability.

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.
