      Pros

      - Great coworkers, front-end team was always fun to work with - Most managers that patrol the floors are friendly and helpful - Work is not very demanding

      Cons

      - Have to start as a cashier in the store before you're able to move into actual work with computers or sales - Movement in company is not very fast and you can be stuck in a position you didn't apply to for months -- maybe even over a year - Can only go up one rung at a time in store, from CSR, to general sales, to media sales, so on and so forth

      Great coworkers if you love tech, but management forces you to scam customers

      Sales representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Get access and discounts on all the latest computer and tech stuff 2. Meet likeminded individuals (e.g, nerds, gamers, and other weirdos) 3. A lot of fun customer interaction 4. Can get a very high salary if you have good sales metrics, but that often involves persuading customers into buying things they don't really need.

      Cons

      1. Management is very inflexible with scheduling 2. Management forces you to sell overpriced attachments on all items, like warranties, antivirus, and other software. If you don't, you get reprimanded and your pay gets cut (your commission is based on how much you can upsell customers into buying software, warranties, and credit cards). 3. Pay is based on how much you scam customers to buy things they don't really need.
