Pros

The pros to working here are decent pay with commission if you sell warranties. The store is usually dead (new location in queens) so you don't do much besides hang around and talk to your fellow co workers.

Cons

Challenges working here are hearing management preach everyday about selling attachments, antivirus and warranties. You also have to maintain a certain area and do trucks. The inventory system sucks.

Pros

Great mom/pop start up that grew into a bigger company. Loved the relationships with my coworkers as well as the ability to move up within the company. They really believe in promoting from within.

Cons

Salaries are not always comparable to industry standards. Needs to come out of the mom/pop mentality if they want to compete on world stage.

Pros

Decent pay for full time employees, with the ability to earn more with commission. Shift lengths are generally good, a later start time is a bonus for college students.

Cons

Management often doesn't seem to sympathize with employees, for cashiers obtaining customer names and emails is of the utmost importance and you will be harped on if your levels drop. Despite being a non-commission pay based job, reaching a dollar amount of commission each day is expected. Schedules are "flexible" but there is no consistency week to week as to what days you will be working. Pre-job training is absolutely terrible and outdated.
