Pros

You can make money selling service plans only, scheduals are good only if you give them a set schedual. There is room for growth depending on location

Cons

Pay every two weeks, you have to capture emails they are big on that you dont do it you will be written up they watch the percentage thru-out the day! They favor certain people a lot if you dont capture emails or sell at least 10 or more plans a day everyday do not expect any hours you will only work 1 to 2 days a week depending on your performance, when you do better then you will get more hours. Do not leave other jobs to stay with them you will never be full time unless your in good with someone. Checkout is long people complain certain credit cards have to be called by customer because they cant be accepted so while the line is wrapped around the building they to call card company to approve the charge. Its really a waste of time (safe for the customer because of fraud but takes forever) you will hear complains all day long but cant do anything about it. Give them days and hours you can work if you dont your days and times will constantly change on you. SELL PLANS AND TRY YOUR BEST TO CAPTURE EMAILS that is the only way you will keep this job at the end of the day!

Pros

The Coworkers are definitely the best part. Everyone there is into computers parts in one way or another, so it is easy to relate.

Cons

Management is extremely inconsistent and regularly keep you in the dark. Was consistently lied to and strung along in order to keep me for the Holiday Season. Promotions are based on favoritism from the managers rather than quality of work put in. They will tell you its about "numbers" for a promotion, but hire brand new people from outside the company or promote people from warehouse, where "numbers" don't even matter. Long hours and a lot of work for comparatively dismal pay even with commission. I could write much more, but I do not recommend working for this company.
