Pros

Pay is good if you can handle the stress, it's nice working indoors I guess, sometimes my store did movie night and that was cool, also I met my girlfriend here which is awesome

Cons

Product knowledge is a must, while you're trying to run to the bathroom someone will flag you down and ask you how to connect their security cameras to their toaster, or the'll shove a tattered up cord in your face belonging to god knows what asking if you have it.....and your managers will force you to cover departments that you have 0 knowledge in which will be very frustrating and embarrassing if the customer needs help and advice....and you have these hourly sales expectations, not goals, but expectations, which are difficult to meet if you're part time....also your managers are up your *** about sales goals because they get like huge dollar bonuses while you get piddly bonuses because if the store meets goal everyone bonuses hut it's based on your paycheck, so if you're part time your bonus is like 30 bucks, and if you're a manager it's like a thousand, and the managers done even make the sales so they get on us peons to make goal.......smh

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
