Used to be great but now it’s turning into Best Buy

Pros

When I started eight years ago this was a great place to be you could make money hand over fist if you were a good salesman and knowledgeable

Cons

Over the course of eight years management has slowly taking away benefits and means of earning money changing commission structures changing insurance benefits etc. etc. lowering and lowering your possible income eventually the company wants to go off of commission altogether and be just like Best Buy. My department used to be sales associates age ranges of 30 to 60 over eight years employees get younger and younger and now I am working with people right out of high school. In the position that took me four years to get into. They don’t care about their employees the way they used to my family was driving in the early years and as time goes on it got harder and harder for my family while I was employed there and I finally had to change employers. They also discriminate against anyone who has a personal life like a family to take care of and they highly prefer the single bachelor. With no obligations
