Pros

Flexible hours- they were very cool with me being a student athlete and gave me time off when I had competitions and they gave me good hours. Cool managers- My managers were cool, most older than me but slightly older than college aged(25+) laid back and let you go if you had other obligations and if they had enough people to cover the floor. Cool people, pretty good pay considering first job, GREAT DISCOUNT! I'd say if I wasn't going for a real job now I'd work there again.

Cons

Sometimes people that worked there were jerks and would be lazy as hell(expected though in high school and college). I did hate how some of the kids were slightly favored over others but it usually never got in the way.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
