Pros

Great coworkers and a half decent discount when you can actually get it.

Cons

You will be Micromanaged to death at this job. The DM is beyind clueless and only cares about numbers (account sign up, units per transaction, monthly sales goals etc.). You also will be treated as a number. If you are a woman forget being promoted unless they have no other choice. You will be watched 24/7 through security cameras. They'll say it's for checking stock levels and theft. It is not! Phone calls will come with them complaining that you don't have bubble guns constantly running. Forget that it's a trip and slip hazard. They know nothing about safety protocols and the right to refuse. No matter how hard you push sales and demo products it's never enough. There is no SOP's. None! Figuring out safety standards, theft prevention, operating procedures, IT, merchandising is all up to you. Omg and the purchasing team. You'll get sent 3-4 skids a week of merch that doesn't sell and you'll already have hundreds of this item. And I quite literally mean hundreds! Costing this company thousands, it's chinese product that doesn’t move. You will be tripping over stock in the back room because there's no place to put it. And there's no cash refunds. But if a customer yells at you about this and you don't give them a cash refund it's your fault and they expect you to take blame. Make up your mind which you want us to do. The only good part is selling geeky merch and the fact that you'll probably have cool coworkers that feel the same way you do about the place. In my 20+ years of helping run companies, I've never seen a place run like this. I had multiple people quit due to the effects this job has had on their mental health. Stay away at all costs!!!

Pros

Decent Discount storewide Can see stuff you normally wouldnt

Cons

- the CEO is always watching thru the security cameras, and WILL call, regardless of whats going on in the store to complain. - No PTO - your Opinions do not matter - there are PAY CAPS for each position, so if you are hired at the cap, you will never receive a raise - All of management are afraid of telling the CEO no. you will hear "The Boss gets what the Boss wants" on a weekly basis. - you will be fielding complaints about prices frequently, the company does not care. they will fire you if you bring it up. - The Company has no real direction for the future. - the Return policy is absolute trash, so bad we post it on the counter, but are instructed to never speak about it unless they ask.
