Pros

Discounts are hit or miss on mostly everything, except accessories and the crappy in-house brands like Insignia.

Cons

Low pay for the workload. Heavily focused on selling bad, overpriced services like geek squad protection. Management are sexist, misogynistic and play heavy favouritism. (and they wonder why it’s 90% men that work there) They walk around abusing power, and making inappropriate jokes, talking behind peoples backs sadly you just have to pretend to laugh. All they care about is making money.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
