Pros

Nice co workers to work with Had fun with some of the managers.

Cons

Some managers were not helpful some knew nothing about the store in the tech world so when asking questions where something was they didnt even know what the item was. Very underpaid even when doing truck. We would work from 7 to 10 and only be paid $4 a hour for that time unloading the truck and the remanding time on shift we would try and make up with customers but couldnt always do it and rarely had a good paycheck in general sales

Pros

You "might" get some things at cost.

Cons

If you're over 30 they find reasons to squeeze you out so they can hire younger people. They base most of your salary on selling those protection plans which most people don't want.
