Pros

Management @ our store is great. I love the day to day challenges of being a mobile / in-store technician. Our easy tech department as a whole is very competent and tech savvy. Every one is easy to get along with. As a technician i have allot of freedom in how I work through my day. I receive allot of respect from coworkers and management for my tech abilities.

Cons

Not every store has it as good as ours. Tech sales $$$'s control how many hours available to schedule technicians.

Pros

- good co-workers - management was helpful - requested time-off was given - pay is ok (for retail)

Cons

- not much room to move up - management above store level out of touch with store operations sometimes - associates in the tech/electronics dept. had a lot of expectations and pressure put on them for very low compensation in return. (did not work in this dept,, only an observation) - some of the marketing ideas are awful and when executed in the store fail miserably - bonuses changed over the years and not for the better, the payout is too low for the work required to receive the bonus.
