Pros

Decent amount of independent time, there are a few cool perks such as reward zone discounts and going to midnight releases.

Cons

Management is very micromanaged. In a company this big they only care about making money in lieu of making their staff feel cared for or comfortable. I often carried my department(s) through sales quota every day, week, month and year and got absolutely zero recognition.

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.
