      It's retail.

      Peripheral sales

      CEO approval

      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.

      Miscommunication between managers

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Learn new things every month about products - Pay is good if you build or sell computers everyday - Constant flow of work brain storming - Employee Discount

      Cons

      - Money sucks once you hit commission, turns into 4/hr plus only 2% on everything you sell and 1% pool. If you don't work in building computers or selling them, you essentially must sell 3,000 dollars worth of stuff to make a decent wage. - Miscommunication between managers causes nothing to get done and a lot of finger pointing. - Many mistakes when making weekly schedules causing several people to work less than they should because managers are too lazy or proud to admit they made mistakes. - Barely any recognition and a lot of micro management discussions for the littlest things (ie: customer left a coffee cup in another aisle and you didn't see it)
