Pros

Relaxed days are very relaxed, and get to spend time joking around with coworkers and learning about new products and whatnot. The discount is really really good depending on the products. Not uncommon to get an $80 cable for $7.

Cons

Corrie Barry is running it into the ground for the most part. Shareholders are prioritized far far above the employees or even the customers. There is no viable upward track for salespeople, and raises are virtually nonexistent. Hard to find a store that values the work of their employees because incentive programs are devised entirely by the managers, and if you have mediocre managers, you have no incentives.

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.
