Pros

A few good co-workers Employee discount A large break room Ability to move around the company

Cons

Being forced to sell only to customers who are buying a high dollar item. All customers looking for a small item are blatantly ignored, even when asking employees directly for help. Customers who are not buying high dollar items, are passed off to the only coworker willing to help people. It is not possible to give good customer service and make decent money. You must choose.

Pros

Awesome Coworkers Decent Pay (after commission) Flexible Schedule for those of us that are still in school The sales associate position is great for anyone that loves to talk to people and loves to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies.

Cons

Management could be better developed. The positions leave little room for improvement as an employee and to grow as a person. There are no incentive programs to do better and nobody takes the time to show you how to improve your sales pitch or your overall number. It's a cycle of them not investing in you so you not being invested in them so they don't feel the need to invest in you.

Pros

You meet a lot of fun and geeky people here, both coworkers and customers. . Fun and stress-free work place with flexible schedule . Coworkers are easy to get a long with . Commission based earning for sale team . Decent benefits for empployees . Company is growing strong

Cons

You get higher commission for selling more attachments per system. With that, most of the top salepersons (not all, but 90% of them) are able to get to higher numbers by ignoring and leaving certain customers. Yet, they get awarded based on numbers for using unethical approach, yet the hard-working employees that care for the store get nothing. . Poor work ethic due to commission model . Management doesn't take employee input . Managers care more for numbers than employees . No recognition for hard-working employees
