With commissions, you have the opportunity to earn a lot compared to other retail jobs, and you will learn a lot about how technology works, especially if you want to sell it.
Cons
Being commissioned, there can be a pretty high variance in sales per day, which makes it hard to have a consistent paycheck. Until you get past General Sales, pay isn't much better than other retail.

Thank you for the great review! We appreciate your feedback! Best – Erin Bowyer – senior HR Representative
Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.
Cons
As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
