Pros

1. Most fellow employees are great people to be around. They make the job worth it. 2. Direct supervisors are easy to approach and talk to. Most of them are really awesome people to work with. 3. You can learn a lot from those around you. 4. CSRs can earn an additional commission on top of their regular pay for selling add-ons at the register. 5. Employee discount.

Cons

1. This place doesn't seem to hire very many women, and those who are hired make less than the men. 2. *Most* supervisors are great, but sadly the ones higher up on the ladder can be hugely difficult to deal with. A lot of people have left specifically because of one top manager. 3. There are mandatory monthly e-learning courses that you have to find time to do, often during your lunch break or before/after work, when you're off the clock. 4. CSRs are in competition with sales associates to sell add-ons, which can lead to a little tension. The push to sell add-ons is also very high. 5. The employee discount is really only worth it for smaller electronics. For things like computer parts and computers themselves, there is no discount at all. (But since they're already sold at the lowest prices and you can always price match competitors, that's not so bad.)

Pros

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.
