Pros

Excellent pay for the position. Despite being commission based, the earnings potential is fantastic comparative to other similar positions. Surrounded by new technology, including top of the line PC components, systems, and peripherals. Good benefits for a retail position. Very responsive and compassionate HR department.

Cons

Upper management is more focused on numbers than employee satisfaction. Hours can vary wildly if you don't meet their constantly increasing standards, and feedback is rarely taken into account. Upper management often will use bullying tactics to get employees to do what they want, be it moving to an undesired department, taking worse hours, or just quitting. If it weren't for the upper management team, this review would probably be 4 stars.
