      Pros

      There are so many energetic and vibrant people work at the store who truly love what they do. They genuinely love to share their wealth of knowledge with their customers and advice with those whom are less experienced.

      Cons

      Micro managing, less diversity, a lot of managers are not willing to listen, learn then lead. They became the "boss" vs. the "leader".

      Nice place to work, just don't be too competitive

      Pros

      Worked in sales, as long as you are actually knowledgeable about computers, parts, and peripherals its a pretty easy stuff. Its really fun if you have an interest the aforementioned categories as well. You can meet a lot of very knowledgeable people who are often very willing to share their insights.

      Cons

      You'll be working more than you expect. Also, the politics really suck if you want to climb the ladder. Being friendly with the higher ups and dumping situations which waste your time is the only way to move up. If a customer is indecisive or needs a lot of attention its unfortunately going to be very detrimental if you really spend the time and effort to help them.

      Pros

      You meet a lot of fun and geeky people here, both coworkers and customers. . Fun and stress-free work place with flexible schedule . Coworkers are easy to get a long with . Commission based earning for sale team . Decent benefits for empployees . Company is growing strong

      Cons

      You get higher commission for selling more attachments per system. With that, most of the top salepersons (not all, but 90% of them) are able to get to higher numbers by ignoring and leaving certain customers. Yet, they get awarded based on numbers for using unethical approach, yet the hard-working employees that care for the store get nothing. . Poor work ethic due to commission model . Management doesn't take employee input . Managers care more for numbers than employees . No recognition for hard-working employees
