Pros

If you like computers and retail, this place is for you. Excellent growth opportunity if the time is put in. Great medical/dental/vision plan Friendly environment (Stores and corporate) Open door policy, actually lives up to this claim Company and stores are small and tight knit enough that your opinions and voice are usually heard Very little "clique" activity Good pay if you work hard in a commission position (see cons) Work/Life balance is very good on the corporate side. (see cons) CEO is a down to earth, nice guy. That means something in a company with thousands of employees.

Cons

Still a lot of office politics Company is very wary to spend money Focus is more on driving sales then curbing inefficiencies Corporate office is windowless Low pay if you are not commissioned. IT/Help desk/management positions low compared to industry Work/life balance in the store is pretty bad. This is similar with most retail. Don't expect to take a day off from before Thanksgiving through February.

Pros

The money is easy! Never get fired for not meeting quotas, just demoted. Sales quotas are easy to reach with any kind of real effort. The money during the holiday is great! Wouldn't expect to have as much control as you can in a retail environment but you can easily increase your income by putting forth some real effort.

Cons

Job and personal life balance sucks. No constant schedule to schedule your life around. Hours during holidays are really high. But you do make more money being that we are commission.
