Pros

In the retail environment this is most likely the best retail place to work for. I have come from a backround of working in many retail backrounds and this has been my best experience yet. The company provides you with a great discount, above average pay, and the abuility to work for the number one electronics retailer in the world.

Cons

I would have to say this would depend on the store you work in but in my store poor management. The lack of acountabuility really hurts the store in a negative way. This causes certian employees in the store to have to work harder to pick up the slack for the employees who do not work hard and get away with it. As a supervisor in the company I realize that the opportunity to take off on weekends and convenient days absolutely does not happen. I realize this and understand because of the field that I work in and would expect it to be this way in retail in general. When other supervisors take off and are not held accountable for it is when it causes problems.

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.
