Pros

Depending on the store you work at you will either love it or hate it. The store that I worked at was great, management, everyone. The company also like to promote within, except the district managers. Before they fired all the other managers in the district and replaced them with former managers from Best Buy it was an awesome part time job. I worked here all through college and had a good time, decent money for a part time job.

Cons

With new management, hours dropped, we were short staffed, and were expected to sell way to much. There was an unrealistic amount of training videos to watch with the less than 40 hours a week that is considered full time. The one thing I hated about working here was when people had unrealistic expectations of you when they bought something. Some people would get mad because we wouldn't put a light bulb in for them.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
