Pros

Competitive pay, great discounts / benefits. Good room for advancement. Most manager started as part time CD and DVD stockers or cashiers. Room for growth within and outside of your department. They also do surveys of the employees about things such as satisfaction with benefits, and what they can do to change them for the better.

Cons

They do not hire full-time employees, you have to start as part-time. A little lacking on training in a few key departments. Managers following up with supervisors leaves a little to be desired. It seems like there is very little communication between supervisors and the management staff unless something is going very wrong.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
