Pros

Pay is great for retail with room to grow in different departments. Associates get to interact with a variety of customer types, from small business clients to professional e sports gamers. Work hours can be flexible if you're part time. Full time benefits are excellent and affordable. Corporate seems open to upward mobility of associates provided they relocate out of California to the Ohio office.

Cons

Management doesn't have an overarching strategy for the store, high level decisions are often contradictory. Some aspects of the store redesign have made working here more difficult. "Full time" entails open availability from open to close 7 days a week. Managers have the automated tools to schedule preferred days for associates, but upper management refuses to do so.
