Pros

It used to be discount, but lately even that has been getting worse and worse. The BEST reason is that you actually are payed a very decent wage compared to other retail locations, at least in this area. If possible try to work in the computer department or geek squad as they are the best paying.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. There is nothing (at the store level anyway) that is not affected by "who you know" not by what you know. You can be the worst employee that has ever been born but as long as you know the right people you will get promoted and help cripple the performance of your store.

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.
