Pros

*It was a fun place to work and made lots of friends with staff (excluding the management) *the discount was great *good about giving you time off when you requested it.

Cons

*Like what others have said the management act like hawks monitoring everything you do, shows a lack of trust and faith in your employees. *Most of the management had no clue, and let their job go to their head. *Forced to work weekends, no exceptions *Store meetings were a waste of time *Very low paying job *If you were part time you would never work more than 14 a week *Lots of politics, everyone seemed real fake, especially the management *The job required personal time outside of work to complete required training which is ridiculous for such a low paying job. I don't think so. *Like others have said its a okay job for a few months to a year but don't expect any sort promotions or career advancements.

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.
