Pros

The benefits are good, paid vacation and sick leave accumulates quickly. The atmosphere is pretty laid back- most days working at the NEX is fun. It can be fulfilling explaining to the retired sub vet how to use skype on his new iPad so he can keep in touch with his grandchildren in another part of the world. Training is hit or miss- I feel they overemphasize some things and others not enough, but I guess that happens everywhere.

Cons

The pay is low- minimum wage to start, and slow growth after that. Management tends to forget we exist until someone higher up is coming then it's a mad dash to perfect the store (which was fine to begin with). Promotion and recognition seems to be based more on who you're friends with than what you do on the clock. I work in a smaller store and it can be frustrating when we don't carry the same products the bigger stores do.

Pros

Working in retail that supports the military; federally employed with good benefits, a 401K and transportation allowance.

Cons

Retail hours are long. management seem to change periodically. Tendency to hire unproven workforce, based on referrals and not so much on credentials.
