Pros

Coworkers, product knowledge, staff discount.

Cons

Middle and lower management are a bunch of kids who have no idea what they're doing. Do not lead by example whatsoever. Shove sales numbers down your throat constantly - all day long. It's all management cares about. You're made to feel guilty if you're not selling what they require you to sell. Meanwhile, we are supposed to focus on telling customers there is no pressure to buy as we're not on commission...pfffttt. I feel that it's a super scammy place to work. Way over worked for next to no compensation.

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.
