Pros

- Good environment - Good benefits - Decent scheduling flexibility

Cons

- Long shifts (8-10 hours) - Base pay without commission is only 4.00$ an hour. -- Commission can help you earn a lot, but the sales floor is biased. People will try and swoop sales from underneath you, and if you struggle, you make only 60 to 80$ for the entire day. - Required closing recovery 1-2 hours after closing at base pay rate with no bonus. - Occasional district management inspections that require heightened maintenance - Management is great individually, but does not communicate well amongst each other. You will have to explain things individually to them after another has already asked.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share your experience with us. We will address the communication suggestion with the store leadership and the need for more patience with new GS hires. Scheduling is based on our associate's availability and each store's needs. The sales team's compensation is reviewed regularly to ensure we are in line with each states wages. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Leslie Whitley, Regional HR.

Pros

Pros: •Great Coworkers •Decent Benefits (CompTIA compensation, school reimbursement, co-pay on dental, medical, health insurance.) •Pay (also a con)

Cons

Cons: •Zero Flexibility (no part-time even though management offered that we were able to do that once school began) •Awful On-boarding process •Management expectations are unrealistic and their values contradict each other •Pay (because it is a commission based structure pay is based on how efficient you manage your time) •PTO is only useable after 6 months along with most benefits •Forced to meet a variety of quotas such as selling security solutions. (You will be coached about it if you don’t meet minimum requirements) •Constant petty backlash from managers through emails •HR? (not very helpful)
