Pros

Employee discount varies depending on the brand Barely any discount on Apple products

Cons

You get paid $4.00 an hour plus 1.5 or 1.8% commission The store doesn't open until 10am you still get paid $4.00 an hour if your scheduled for a 7/8/9 am shift which is not good because there's no way of selling if the store is closed. the company should be paying employees that work before 10am shifts an hourly rate. The Brooklyn Store is very very dusty and dirty and has Rats. Don't want to give employees that work a Full time hours Full time benefits and keep the employee under part time with part time benefits. Coupons are annoying because if the customer uses a $50 off coupon you only get the commission of the remaining balance of the products Need more Female sales associates The Brooklyn store is sexist against females as in promoting them to other departments that nots General sales System employees barely work General sales have to put away over 5 rack of merchandise every Tuesday Thursday and Friday for $4.00 an hour the Brooklyn store barely has any room for merchandise so everything is over cluttered and messy and disorganized

Our Brooklyn store has been completely reset and we are looking forward to additional retailers moving into our building. We have several new managers including a new General Manager. Our Regional HR Manager is in the building at least once a week if there are issues that need to be addressed. Our goal is to make your work experience a positive one and it appears there were issues that did not get addressed before you left. I hope you will contact me directly at 614-850-3151 to discuss your concerns. Angie Miller VP - HR

Pros

Good, competitive pay for skilled sales. Commission based, get out what you put in.

Cons

$4 an hour (even during non-commission generating opening and closing hours) is really rough. A 7-4 shift means 3 hours @ $4 an hour, hard to see how thats OK. Benefits are terrible, so noone takes them.

Pros

Awesome coworkers, they're honestly willing to help you even if they work in a different section. Teamwork is great, communication among employees is great, and most customers are relatively decent or patient too. If you work here, you're very likely to make a lot of friends that you associate with even after you leave.

Cons

Management agendas come into play too much, often top selling employees would get stuck in a more mediocre position to increase income at the expense of the employee where as "suck ups" would get a promotion the clearly were not able to handle. Minimal promotions occurred yearly, employees would be scheduled for hours they told management conflicted with their schedule (often school), yet management demanded they work or they'd be out a job. Focus of store also seemed to shift from customer service to solely increasing profit. At the end of they day, you're expected to do a lot for less than stellar pay (slightly better than best buy I guess). Just remember, it's retail and at the end of the day, you're expendable.
