Pros

Fast paced job where time goes by very quickly on the weekends. Good training programs and friendly staff. Employee discounts are good for certain items.

Cons

Pushed to sell like a commissioned employee without the the commission. Pushed extremely hard to sell extended warranty service plans, again without compensation for performance. Sales floor more often than not also had poor coverage. Several times there were 2 sales employees on the floor on a busy weekend. This led to several frustrated customers who were extremely dissatisfied. A measly hourly pay where performance has no effect on. The computer sales floor also had very poor turnaround due to the extreme pushing of sales, several people had either quit or transferred out of that department during the time I was employed there.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
