Pros

Great environment--lots of cool people. Everyone is really cool and knows a lot about the products. The working environment is very nice, and the store is laid back, but not too laid back. Management is usually cool, and willing to listen and help, but it really depends on what store you are working in, they all are different.

Cons

The pressure to sell to customers who don't want it. Management encourages you to push products, service plans, and credit cards on people who say no. They tend to be pushy and intrusive, asking personal questions and stuff. The environment is very male-centric.

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.
