Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling depending on manager Good Pay for the type of job learn a bunch, lots of additional training if willing to put forth the effort. 10% employee discount, must deduct amount of purchase from pay check limited up to 70% take home pay. Instant profit sharing that increases with time (1 year = 2.5% of take home pay, 2Y/5.0%, 3Y/7.5%, 4Y,10%, 5Y/12.5%, 6Y/15%). Weekend bonus of $2.50/HR if paid hourly. Holiday gift bond (store credit) (6 month/$11, 1Y/33, 2Y/55, 3Y/77, 4Y/99, 5Y/121, 6Y143, 7Y/165, 8Y/187, 9Y/209, 10+Y/231MAX)

Cons

Micro management from corporate offices, poor treatment, no understanding of personal situations involving life events. Part time team members NO PAID Holidays even when forced to work. They will PUNISH HARD if you mess up. If you damage their property even if its on accident you will be charged, loose a walkietalkie your charged $250. Accidentally brake a product they will charge you, customers are free to brake things and not be charged however. AUDIO RECORDING AT THE SERVICE DESK- even if its illegal in IL to record audio of conversations. Video cameras at not to prevent theft they are used to spy on employees.

Pros

-They're very flexible with your work hours. If you're in school and you show your schedule, they usually will schedule you to work around that. - They do profit sharing. If your store operates a certain percentage profitable every year if you work for 1,000 hours that year you qualify for a bonus check. Each year that amount you receive will increase, but I believe there's a cap after 6 years.

Cons

-The pay isn't enough to support a family, if you have one. -High turn over rate -It's customer service so you will be working around a lot of older men. If you're a woman, (& some men) they can try to get handsy, and flirty. -The store I was at, the cashiers worked directly in front of 2 doors. So when it was cold outside, they were freezing at their cash registers. -Hard to get promoted -If you're part time and you want benefits, be prepared to pay half of what you make a month towards those benfits

Pros

Not many pros to be honest, it is a good place to get back on your feet, but no real long term benefits.
