Pros

1. Greatly rewarded for hard work (commission pay) 2. Every day is an opportunity to help people 3. Flexible work schedule 4. Great place to work for anyone with people skills and an interest in sales and/or computers 5. Employee discount incredible on non-big ticket items 6. Managers work with you for time scheduling!

Cons

As mentioned, it is a commission based job, so on the days where you don't upsale as much as you can, you'll see the reflection in your paycheck. Time is money!

Pros

Coworkers were nice and supportive

Cons

Lack of organization and lazy management Depressing environment most of the time especially when no one is there Managers and other departments's workers complain about no work being done when there is none to do very low pay and terrible system for commission which fails half the time, they promise a pay that amounts to $16/hr but it is never that close

It's unfortunate that the job did not meet your expectations and it sounds like we can improve on our communication and sales training. If you'd like to share additional details, please call me at 614-850-3150. Sincerely, Angie Miller VP-HR

Pros

The job in general is pretty fun and relaxed for the most part. Most of your time will be spent talking to customers and answering questions about product. when you not selling, you either be cleaning your area of responsibility or helping unload truck shipments and putting product on shelves. I think one of the better parts of this job is that its pretty relaxed and not very labor intensive.

Cons

There's not too many downsides to working here. There is a big amount of pressure from management to sell their service plans as well as office and eset antivirus whenever selling a computer. This was a bit uncomfortable at first but you get used to it early on and as long as you can do decent they seem to be content with that. The last manager was a major con to working there and was a big reason why myself and many others left the store, but he is not working there anymore so i can imagine that it is much better now. There will be days where it is completely dead, and you probably will average minimum wage, but that happens at any retail job The only other thing that comes to mind is that it is near impossible to get time off during holiday season. Managers are usually pretty considerate and will work with you but you will not get much.
