Pros

You do get to see (but not touch) the newest and coolest technology

Cons

Being 100% commission based, the store is only concerned with IT'S bottom line, and will therefore significantly over-staff the sales floor (I was in Build-your-Own). There are a finite number of sales that walk in the door. Splitting them among 12 people does those 12 people less service than if 4 or 5 were working instead. The remaining 7 or 8 just get to stand around doing non-selling stuff like stocking, fronting, cleaning...at $4/hr.

Pros

Great Employees make it somewhat fun. One hour lunch breaks. Comissioned salary. That is all that is good with this job.

Cons

Too many to justify working there. Condescending Management. Too cheap to advertise, so they rely on the cashiers capturing customers' email, you get in trouble if you don't. Degrading job.
