Pros

Some coworkers are friendly. You will never be bored. Always new positions opening up. Relaxed uniform. Lots of part time work.

Cons

Limited budget means low pay, few hours and unpredictable schedules. The skilled positions (Tech support and Copy center) are paid just as little as the cashiers and stockers. Store managers are not truly invested in improving conditions, they're just stressed about meeting the endless corporate requirements for sales, membership sign up, warranty sales, upgrades and tons of other metrics and data collection. Broken/outdated tools for getting the job done. Proper tools are never "in the budget". Continuous push to sell more retail when Amazon can do it better and cheaper. Lack of focus on services that Amazon cannot provide (yet).

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
