Very limited advancement opportunity, great associates, but varied management (from stellar to horrible).

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The associates (non management) are generally very good people to work with. Teamwork among associates is frequent and one of the companies strengths. Being able to share your employee pricing with friends and family a few times a year is a nice gesture.

Cons

The scheduling of a salaried managers time is extremely lopsided in the companies favor. Corporate involvement is rarely positive. At the store level there are sometimes departmental walls between the retail, service, and operations teams that prevent them from working together effectively.

It's retail.

Business Outlook

Pros

Acceptable if you appreciate consumer computer electronics.

Cons

Web based sales leeching away sales from floor personnel. Salary has steadily gone down over multiple years. Upper management is micro-managing to a high degree. Sales people are truly "retail flunkies", having to perform multiple hours per day on average of merchandising, stocking, cleaning - even security.
