Pros

They let anyone in as they are constantly under staff, and managers has no experience in fixing computer so they hire anyone who can talk. They have insurance if you break while fixing computers (Gain Experience without risks). Working hours

Cons

Commission base so if you are not selling, they are not going to sit well with you. Minimum wage, raise is fixed and sad. You live and die by commission. Manager does not care as long as you hit target. People with experience will not work here Multiple shift

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
