Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for commissioned positions.

Cons

was supposed to change positions to PC sales shortly after being hired. A year later I still had not transferred but was helping the sales department without being compensated. Left the company after being rejected for the sales position by GM because my warranty sales as a cashier were too beneficial to metrics.
