Thank you for the feedback! Helping people with their tech needs is what we do best, and we’re happy to hear you’re enjoying that part of the role. We know the commission structure means every day is different, and we value the effort you put in to make those 'good days' happen. Thanks for being on the team!

Pros

Management isn't as disrespectful as other retail locations. The employee discount was sometimes useful. Cool coworkers.

Cons

Sales quotas. Outdated hardware made even simple tasks like calling a customer to the register or punching in/out for your shift a chore. Low pay. Unclear and unrealistic policies. Weekly performance reviews. Cannot take breaks/lunch when you want. Breaks are often skipped. They rarely allow promotion from within outside of assistant management roles (you're better off quitting and reapplying if you want to change departments).
