Pros

Fun gear to play with - Great training - Cool concert perks - Okay compensation. The facilities are generally nice and there is a decent amount of attention paid to technology.

Cons

Poorly trained management staff. Purchasing agents have a personal agenda to receive vendor gifts. Underhanded human resources team. There is a complete lack of trust and enthusiasm from HR - I believe that was the absolute worst part of working for Tweeter. In addition to the lack of empowerment, HR would forcefeed antiquated human relations training that most companies and colleges view as ineffective. Communication is horrid and integrity is completely absent from the company.

Pros

A newly resturctured company has it going in the right direction. The pay scale was very competitive and maintained a commission based sales floor when other competitors switched to hourly. They enacted a draw based compensation system which, was not favored by many but was a step in the right direction to increase productivity.

Cons

In the 5 years that I worked their, the company kept free-falling toward bankruptcy. Upper management had a hard time figuring out how to fix a sinking ship. They blamed a lot of the downfalls on the sales staff, however their constant restructuring of the pay scale, and cutbacks created a less than homely atmosphere. This coupled with an extremely high turnover rate feathered the consumers trust in their neighborhood tweeter sales counselor. For a long time the sales staff was the bread and butter of the company, with individual sales people being the go-to guy throughout every generation of the tech phase. however, this was truly undone by managements failure to retain top sales earners.
