Pros

Benefits are solid, pay is decent for a retail store. if you're a fan of electronics you get to work in an environment surrounded by them. the company will respect your availability/schedule outside of the super crunch holiday season.

Cons

Company seems more interested in selling credit cards and memberships than actual products; customers can be pretty demanding, and will frequently ignore what you have to tell them. stores are pretty badly understaffed, so don't expect support if it gets busy.

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.
