Roller coaster ride, good and bad

Pros

Fairly laid back, good supervisors / managers. Friendly. It is an easy job to do comparatively and for the pay. Management is friendly, helpful, and good to work with.

Cons

Pay is inconsistent, frustrating to want to do more for the store but be unable to do anything about it. Hours are long and inconsistent, but that is retail.

Pros

- Learn new things every month about products - Pay is good if you build or sell computers everyday - Constant flow of work brain storming - Employee Discount

Cons

- Money sucks once you hit commission, turns into 4/hr plus only 2% on everything you sell and 1% pool. If you don't work in building computers or selling them, you essentially must sell 3,000 dollars worth of stuff to make a decent wage. - Miscommunication between managers causes nothing to get done and a lot of finger pointing. - Many mistakes when making weekly schedules causing several people to work less than they should because managers are too lazy or proud to admit they made mistakes. - Barely any recognition and a lot of micro management discussions for the littlest things (ie: customer left a coffee cup in another aisle and you didn't see it)
