Pros

Flexible Schedules, Great If going to School, Have the potential to earn good money, even part timers get some benefits like vacation time, popular sports game are played on the biggest television in the store (turned off if it affects work), it is possible to get away with doing little to no work, must pass assessment to be hired so employees are more competent than normal

Cons

Management is not good, promotions based of company politics not merit, managers can not motivate, many employees are lazy, most employees were hired because of a friend worked there, if you actually work you wont make much money unless you are extremely lucky, majority of employees in BYOPC and systems only care about money, character of employees is questionable, employees will take credit for things they didn't help customers with, its retail, basic retail issues (annoying customers, incompetent management, lots of work, ...), salespeople earn more than management therefore if you are a good salesperson you will need to take a pay cut to move to management, all managers close differently and prioritize things differently, get paid $4.00/hour pay is based off commission so if you work you make less money than if you focus on selling, many more cons to mention but time is limited if i can edit this later I will overall bad out ways the good

Pros

You work with people who enjoy computers and technology. Decent employee discount on some items

Cons

Its retail, you have to deal with customers who think they're right Base pay is $4/hr Management have no idea what is happening in their stores Management is lazy and incompetent You are expected to inventory and take care of your AOR (Area of Responsibility) while being paid $4/hr. If you come in to open or you have to close you are making $4/hr for those 2 hours
