Pros

I got to work with fun people in a great work environment. Getting hands on all the latest tech is a cool perk too. Good employee discount, especially for the Mobile Department. Overall, I had a lot of fun here. They also worked really well with my school schedule.

Cons

Responsibilities outweighed compensation. They expected me to work at 100% and cover a lot of areas, but did little to reward me for it. Low pay and a lack of sales commission made it hard to care at times, easy to just "hang out." Even though I had years of experience there, was among the most knowledgeable, and got good sales numbers, the annual raises were pathetic and they even hired inexperienced new employees at a greater pay rate than me.

Pros

You get to meet with amazing coworkers.

Cons

Management is very bad, and they don't care about any of the employees; all they care about is hitting numbers and only numbers. Pay is low too for technology advisors.
