Pros

Co-workers, employee discount, and nothing else.

Cons

Disrespectful management. I once asked my manager if I could make some changes to my schedule, and they told me that I should find another job if I don't like it. I was once yelled at, by a manager, in front of customers for "interrupting him." These guys don't respect you and they don't care for you or your job. They will make you do tasks outside of your job requirement and when you ask questions they won't help you. You cannot have a preferred shift. You will work 8-6 one day and 12-9 the next without any say in it. When you complain they will say, "find another job." When asking for help, they look at you like you're dumb for even asking and get angry with you that you don't know what to do. These mangers will yell at you if you ask them any questions. They are so very passive aggressive for no reason and it makes you dread coming into work. This place is absolutely miserable and I will never recommend it to any aspiring computer technician. They could do better, but I have doubts they ever will.

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.
