Very clean and well organized place to work, electronics there are interesting if that is your thing, ok training, I guess.

Very little positive incentives (bonus, employee discounts) for working hard, instead negative incentives (public posting of myster shopper scores, all or nothing group bonuses)

Pros

Flexible hours good people to work with not overly difficult work environment

Cons

Unclear direction poor support for upper managment think you're doing good? They widen the scope that they measure you with. They'd rather hire outsiders than promote from within.
