Pros

Good pay, great friendships, hot guys, blue crew buck (bonus) awsome discount on accessories. on other stuff.

Cons

poor training sitting on a desk for hours doing elearnings... poor management that all they do is rant about why we didnt sell black tie when the customer doesnt want it and blame it on us that we didnt sell enough. o.O hours are crazy, like we dont have a life outside of work. very selfish people (management) unfair they take as long as they want on their lunch, constant harrasment to hit revenue takes a long time to move up..

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
