Pros

You get to work around the latest tech which is awesome if you're a nerd. Health benefits are pretty nice and you can make some serious money if you work hard and sell a lot, especially warranties.

Cons

They micromanage the hell out of you. A certain assistant manager will threaten to make you a cashier if your numbers slip a bit. They played favorites while I was there but I have friends who have worked there for over 5 years. Its nearly impossible to get into the department you want unless you brown nose or know someone personally. I had people hired in my department long before me who knew nothing about what they were selling.
