Pros

Fun hobby to build your skills. You’ll get the opportunity to network with people in the IT field to eventually get a career. You’ll have room for lateral movement if you associate with the right people.

Cons

If you aren’t white, you won’t get promoted any higher than a junior management role. Strong, STRONG racial overtones for management. 4$ an hour job plus commissions for sales. Minimum wage plus commission for cashier jobs. Sales based skill-centric pay as a technician. You are asked to sell service items and a fair portion of pay (anywhere from 0% if you do no sales, up to 20% if you’re a sales superstar ON top of being technically skilled) is based on these sales. Promotions are based off of who you suck up to rather than performance.

Pros

Get extra money whenever you sell warranties Discount on products Friendly co workers

Cons

They push you to sell warranty and will hound you and put you down if you miss one. Mangers will judge your sales based on genders Many customers will treat you poorly and as if you know nothing about computers or products. 10 -12 hour shifts even if part time.
