Pros

It truly was a fun place to work for a while. You have fun while helping consumers purchase items. The discount isn't so bad either. If you like car audio, that department has the biggest discount. You also can win items for having the most sales.

Cons

The top managers only care about the numbers, not as you an individual. My ops manager was fabulous, but the sales managers of certain departments (ex. computers, tvs) are really hard on employees to push sales to consumers and they even resort in stretching the truth just a bit, just to get a sale.

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.
