Pros

The store I worked out really had a positive team atmosphere. We were never very busy compared to other electronics retailers, and most of the other associates had no issues helping out whenever you needed them. The stores are usually very clean, and everything is kept in very good order, so when people walk in, you can be proud of the place you're working for. Also, the base pay is in line with other electronics retail companies, and the incentives for upselling are fair. I always liked that there were multiple "contests" going on every month that gauged performance in all facets of the job (not just sales), all of which carried a monetary reward.

Cons

The GM at the store that I worked for was a bit weak. He had some issues leading confidently, and it would eventually lead to some levels of insubordination. The Assistant Store Manager, who was excellent, ended up getting fed up and left for another store where he is much happier.

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.
