Pros

The benefits overall are great, especially the employee discount. Not only that but it is a ncie environment to work in every day, espcially if you like talking about or just being around electronics all day. Basically if you enjoy electronics and are looking for a good job to help get groceries during college, there is no better choice.

Cons

There is a ridiculous amount of stress from the managers to perform up to their standards but you are not often recognized, or rewarded for your efforts. You can be the hardest worker in the store and make the same amount as the laziest person. They also have unrealistic goals they set, especially given the state of the current economy.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
