Pros

Great people to work with, learning new things every day about technology. A perfect entry-level position for finance or information technology majors.

Cons

Management at my store was phenomenal I really felt like I mattered. I just disliked the corporate's policies on A LOT of things, and I missed out on a few benefits that I should have received.

Pros

- You will learn knowledge about current technology and computers. - Provide training - Big discount on high margin item like cable etc, not so much on the rest.

Cons

- They pay $4 for your training, most of just skip to the end as we are commission base. - Once you enter into System, there will be conflict of interest for commission, and usually seniority comes first, then whoever is the best salesman. You are nothing if you can't sell. - Same goes with schedule, last employee will always be working at the worst shift which you spend 2 to 3 hours getting $4/hour doing hard labor which is way below min wage. - There are literary only 2 holiday for you. Thanks Giving and Xmas so you will enjoy working 5 days a week with $4 + commission. - You get pay the same, forever, people who work there for 10 years get pay the same as 1 year. Only way you can make a differences is by selling more high margin item which bump up your commission %. - You are forced to work during holiday
