Pros

Good place to start right out of school, get your foot in the water by learning to sell products and combo those with your services

Cons

Hard to make service and product goals in some stores, not a lot of training classes that were promised before employment. Constantly being called into work or asked to stay late, mostly because my manager called in or was running late.
