Pros

- Ok pay for the field - Decent discounts depending on what you want -Flexible hours for college students

Cons

(Some of this is store dependent) - It's a customer facing job, so you might get rude people and annoying Karens - My specific management was good until they changed positions and got new ones in. -I also worked in the warehouse towards the end of my employment, it sucked and made me want to leave that much quicker. - Not really any discounts for PC builds - The warranty system is kind of a scam, depending on what you buy - Sales associates are sharks sometimes

Your opinion counts and we thank you for sharing. As you stated our retail store positions are mostly customer facing. We hire special people to be our associates and have a variety of positions in hopes that an associate can find the position that best fits their needs. We train our associates at hire, and we have regular monthly, and annual trainings. We look at our staffing models regularly and hire based on our customer traffic to ensure customer satisfaction. We wish all the best in your future endeavors. Regards, Leslie Whitley Regional HR.

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.
