A daily grind without much reward.

Pros

It's pretty much the Disney Land of computer parts. Employee discounts. Decent full-time benefits.

Cons

As a general sales associate, you make a base pay with commission. However, most items in the "general" area of the store are smaller, more specific items, that take a lot of time to locate, and don't give you much commission.

Pros

The pay is very good for a simple cashier's position. The training is thorough and helpful, especially for the first couple of weeks on the job. The people you work with are very nice and helpful.

Cons

The stores are ALWAYS busy. This is the most fast paced, always moving cashier job I have had, especially around Christmas and back-to-school shopping.

Pros

All of the people were great to work with even the managers. The managers were very flexible if you needed a day off.

Cons

The cash registers you worked with were very antiquated, not even windows based so life would be easier if they upgraded their systems and the fact that you had to stand for all of shift can be tiring on the feet.
