Pros

You get a significant employee discount (on certain items; not on the game console you want, but on the warranty for it yes.) Somewhat flexible hours.

Cons

Dated backend systems for POS and order management cause problems for workers and customers alike. No growth opportunity really unless you want to become a retail manager and deal with clueless people and hard problems for not much more pay. Lots of pressure to sell memberships that just are not that useful unless the customers really use warranties or Geek Squad a lot. (There's some irony in Glassdoor forcing me to write this review in order to retain access too the platform; I haven't found a better job through Glassdoor than being a retail cashier with my many college degrees.)

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.
