Pros

As a commissioned sales associate, you dictate how much you make depending on how aggressive you are at getting to the customers before anyone else does. The money can be good during peak times of the year.

Cons

As a commissioned sales associate, your coworkers dictate how much you make depending on how aggressive they are at getting to the customers before you do. There can be some stiff competition and underhanded methods employed to gain the upper hand over you and your other coworkers. Projects that take you away from sales can really cut into your money-making ability. @$4 an hour +commission that can be good... unless it's a project that is not considered "Project Pay Worthy"

Pros

1. Great pay, I believe much higher than similar jobs at Best Buy, especially now with the pandemic and increased demand for computers. 2. Friendly environment - felt a bit like a family. 3. Not boring - always something to do or someone to talk to. 4. Management (usually) pays attention to employee needs 5. As far as I'm aware there's some room for growth within the company, like to manager positions. 6. They will pay for you to get certain certifications. 7. They seem to take integrity seriously. 8. Very flexible schedule, especially as a part time worker.

Cons

1. Management is kind and reasonable with their requests, but often stretched a bit thin. They didn't spend much time getting to know me personally, which would have been nice and made me more loyal to the company.
