Pros

Easy job but it is retail so you have to put up with uneducated coworkers and customers. You dont have to think when doing this job. I worked on the sales floor and it was quite boring. You spend all day helping customers which is nice but you have absolutely no training in whatever department you work in besides on how to run a cash register. There is no formal training for your specific department so if you work in electronics and personally know nothing about electronics customers can get upset at you lack of knowledge. The best reason to work there is they hire just about anyone.

Cons

They really want you to sell their credit cards. You will be reprimanded if you are not selling enough cards to customers. As a customer I always hate when they push those credit cards at every store so I wouldn't do it as much as I was supposed to. Scheduling sucks. If you want to have specific work schedule you are pretty much out of luck. If you close the store you have to stay until the entire store is clean and ready to open tomorrow. I spent several nights past 1 am cleaning the store because other "team members" were incompetent or lazy.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
