Pros

Pay is good if you can handle the stress, it's nice working indoors I guess, sometimes my store did movie night and that was cool, also I met my girlfriend here which is awesome

Cons

Product knowledge is a must, while you're trying to run to the bathroom someone will flag you down and ask you how to connect their security cameras to their toaster, or the'll shove a tattered up cord in your face belonging to god knows what asking if you have it.....and your managers will force you to cover departments that you have 0 knowledge in which will be very frustrating and embarrassing if the customer needs help and advice....and you have these hourly sales expectations, not goals, but expectations, which are difficult to meet if you're part time....also your managers are up your *** about sales goals because they get like huge dollar bonuses while you get piddly bonuses because if the store meets goal everyone bonuses hut it's based on your paycheck, so if you're part time your bonus is like 30 bucks, and if you're a manager it's like a thousand, and the managers done even make the sales so they get on us peons to make goal.......smh

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.
