Pros

Pretty great place to work overall. While management of course has their goals to reach, everything is dont with the knowledge that at the end of the day customer service is the most important aspect of retail. Co-worker relations are pretty great as well.

Cons

Other than the occasional irate customer, it's a tad short staffed. However management is willing to work with schedules and outside life events.

Pros

Good Money during holiday seasons; fun staff. Great discounts and easy on boarding process.

Cons

high turn over; less than 5 dollars an hour, in other words if there is no one to sell to youre not going to have a good paycheck.

Pros

Good corporate culture. Great for people who love tech stuff and are friendly with people.

Cons

Too many analog strategies in a digital world; TV and radio ads are seldom used, which means low exposure of brand to market in comparison to competitors like Fry's.
