Pros

monthly pay bonuses for employees who sell "commissionable" products, such as protection plans, and computer services. depending on performance, can make 10, 15, or 20% of the total commissionable sales per month. very few companies these days offer monetary incentives for extra pay this structure skews the tech department in favor of these commissions as the bulk is generated on the sales floor selling computers with protection plans and selling virus removal services. tech is where you will make the most money

Cons

in order to make commissions, not only do you have to sell these extra products, but also the store must meet its monthly goals. if the goals arent met for that month, you get nothing.

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.
