Pros

You start at $15 an hour and that is about where the pros end.

Cons

Insanely understaffed, I would often get called lazy because I could not possibly handle the work of 6 people along with helping guests. The stockroom is so disorganized it's dangerous, I would have to squeeze between piles of boxes that could have fallen on me at any moment. My "training" was following a coworker around for 2 shifts that did not teach me anything and then I was left by myself with literally no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I got in trouble one time for not having enough "product knowledge" because I was not able to answer specific questions about one of the 50 different brands we carry in tech. I was not offered any methods of improving my product knowledge and was not offered pay for the time I spent learning. I worked here for 6 months and did not feel properly trained for a single shift I worked. Especially working in tech, there are a lot of situations to handle with resellers and scammers. I was not properly trained for any of those situations and felt extremely guilty asking for help because everyone else working was too busy because we were so understaffed. Save yourself the anxiety attacks and breakdowns and do not work here.
