Pros

The employee discount is substantial. Just about everyone that enjoys working there enjoys it because of the discount and computers being their hobby.

Cons

Too many sales staff barking for commissions. The sales floor is flooded, absolutely flooded, with sales guys that may or may not know what the heck they are talking about. And they will get bent out of shape if you miss their commission sticker. Don't expect me, the cashier, to take extra time out searching for your sticker if you won't take extra time out to place it reasonably near a bar-code. Also the hours suck, which is true for most retail positions. You're expected to work till 10:30 or later one night (depending on when that one guy decides to leave the store) and be back the next morning at opening. And even though every schedule form I filled out from the resume to telling every manager every week that I do not work Sunday mornings, I still get scheduled Sunday mornings. No two weeks look the same. It's nuts.

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.
