Pros

- Medical benefits for part-time employees. - Tasks are pretty simple, basic retail tasks. - 10% discount on nearly everything in the store (aside from alcohol)

Cons

- Literally zero room for promotion, or raises, even after 2 years of employment. - My store managers constantly pestered me to keep looking busy, even if I already finished all of my busy work, instead of letting me simply finish my work and look professional behind the electronics counter for customers who may have questions. - They constantly under-staff the store, which makes it really difficult to let you take a break, because they force you to find somebody to cover the department (which nobody wants to do), yet they also force you to take a break, because legally you have to. - My store managers blamed me for other people stealing stuff from the department, despite the fact that I never realized. They told me I had to be more observant, despite that being the job of loss prevention.

Pros

Everything was a pro. That place was awesome to work for!

Cons

The only con is that is no longer a store in our community. Sadly, it went out of business.
