Pros

Great discount - although the electric could be better Customers are great Lots of gadgets

Cons

Micro Management Corporate office has NO CLUE what is going on in their own stores. How can a store in NC be expected to do the same amount of money as a store in Atlanta? Impossible. Constantly using the economy is not an excuse for lack of sales. Praise is never given... never comes from "on high" unless you are an A store. the lower stores are just forgotten. Need more of what is offered in the catalog.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
