Pros

Everyone who I work with is amazing and the some of the nicest people I have ever met. General manager is fair with hours and encouraging. There are opportunities to move up in the ranks with more experience. 30 minute flexible lunch break.

Cons

Pay is maybe half of what it should be. I could not imagine trying to work full time and live off of $9 an hour at my location. Some days I don't even work where I signed up for. Regional manager has unrealistic "basket" expectations. Tech support/protection plans could cost more than the electronic itself, while the product is significantly overpriced and hard to sell if you have morals. Which I don't blame my managers at all for, its a systemic issue.
