It's Retail...

Pros

Awesome coworkers, they're honestly willing to help you even if they work in a different section. Teamwork is great, communication among employees is great, and most customers are relatively decent or patient too. If you work here, you're very likely to make a lot of friends that you associate with even after you leave.

Cons

Management agendas come into play too much, often top selling employees would get stuck in a more mediocre position to increase income at the expense of the employee where as "suck ups" would get a promotion the clearly were not able to handle. Minimal promotions occurred yearly, employees would be scheduled for hours they told management conflicted with their schedule (often school), yet management demanded they work or they'd be out a job. Focus of store also seemed to shift from customer service to solely increasing profit. At the end of they day, you're expected to do a lot for less than stellar pay (slightly better than best buy I guess). Just remember, it's retail and at the end of the day, you're expendable.

Cons

Small and very little pay for hard work depending on what position you get placed in Roaches and other insects in the break room unclean environment dust every where you look. Having to stay overtime the time you were scheduled to leave. Rude customers long time on your feet at least 10 hours if not more.

I have followed up on these concerns and have verified that the breakroom is clean and pest free. (This issue happened more than six months ago from what I understand). We try to balance associate schedules with customer needs as best we can. Thank you for sharing your insight.
