Pros

Decent employee discount, especially on cables. Meet many different wonderful people from all walks of life and made some life-long friends.

Cons

Always understaffed with revolving door syndrome. Human Resources is not for the employees, rather for the company's reputation. "Open Door Policy" means nothing ever since they eliminated local HR, and even then it just meant that the door stays open so everyone can see/hear you raising concerns so management can be petty and vindictive. The only way to move up is to have 100% open availability and being willing to lie to/mislead customers. Business model is to hire management (including district level and up) from companies that were ran into the ground due to poor management and yet expect higher returns. Many shady, unethical and borderline illegal activity has been overlooked as long as the employee is a star in certain numbers. Every position is a sales/stocking position, even the cashiers and technicians. Over the years it became less of taking care of the customer and more of take advantage of the customer

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.
