Pros

Decent discount, good benefits, fun sometimes

Cons

A serious lack of diversity, sexism seems to be pretty prevalent aside from executive level positions, and accessibility at the corporate headquarters is practically non existent, not ADA compliant.

Pay is good if you are active in getting commissions.

Pros

It's a good work environment. You get to work with people that are also interested in computer hardware.

Cons

If you aren't proactive in getting commissions through store protection plan sales, spiffs, etc, you can find better paying jobs at other retail locations. There is plenty of other workplaces that offer cashier positions that have a much higher base pay than here. If you are proactive in commission sales, you can easily make a lot more than what you're base pay is. But if you're not, then you're better off somewhere else.

Thank you for the "4 Star" review. Our goal is to give our associates unlimited earning potential with our commission program so the base pay is less than some others pay but still very competitive. We also want to give those associates who want to sell the opportunity for career growth by being able to move onto our sales floor in different departments depending upon interest and knowledge. Best of luck and thank you for your years with us - it's been crazy with COVID and we appreciate all that you did during that time.
