Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers, decent flexibility with hours. Great discounts on products. Insight on new products.

Cons

The store manager is a miserable man who is always in a bad mood and he's not at all approachable. Calm down, it's a retail store, not a high-stress government job. I really don't see the difficulties with his position. He stays in his office all day and yells at people. Plus the managers know nothing about technology or the products, that was embarrassing.

Pros

- You get to work with new technology and learn a lot about them - Friendly environment - Easy to move up (sales floor) if you are good at your job - Everyone plays Clash of Clans

Cons

- Hourly pay for all sales members is $4/hr + commission. (If you work a truck shift your not making much money) - Constant pressure to meet your goals - Some managers will have you do "busy work" when its slow and there is nothing else to do. - A lot of customers feel entitled - More physical labor than other sales jobs - You are not valued as an employee to upper-management and are seen as expendable regardless of your performance - Management prefers to out source job before considering internal employees for a raise
