Pros

Discount of course! Retail experience (once you leave here you'll get hired easily and get paid better) Works great with school/sports schedule.

Cons

The pay is terrible, but the discount balances it out. The higher volume your store is, the better your commission is. You must work during busy times (back to school, black Friday, December period) or YOU WILL GET FIRED!

Pros

Associates are cool to talk and work with, gained managment experience. Other than that nothing.

Cons

Depending on your boss hard to get days off, No apperciation for any work that is done, pay sucks for all of the work that is expected.. Also you spend alot of your time doing training on how to pretty much bug your customer into buying everything.. Your expected to be on the customer like white on rice literally.

Pros

*Strong brand recognition *The new CEO seems very sharp *Product discount is generous

Cons

*Datacenter is old *Management is old *Promotions based on whose butt you kiss not talent or how long you have worked there *Anyone with new ideas and any sign of ingenuity is driven out by the insecurity of SR management *VPs fake like they like each other, but the wars between the sites in WSA, MKE, CH are alive and strong *CIO has no IT background- promoted because it was his "turn" *Politics/Two Faced- Everyone talks behind each others back *Unprofessional- the team is so old that you can count on 5-6 people (including Directors and Managers) sleeping through every meeting, lots of yelling and down talking, disrespectful of staff, never say they are wrong , I'm sorry or thank you to staff *Good old boys club, lots of favors for old-timers, too many exceptions to rules for friends *Pay increases rarely happen *
