Pros

Employee discount varies depending on the brand Barely any discount on Apple products

Cons

You get paid $4.00 an hour plus 1.5 or 1.8% commission The store doesn't open until 10am you still get paid $4.00 an hour if your scheduled for a 7/8/9 am shift which is not good because there's no way of selling if the store is closed. the company should be paying employees that work before 10am shifts an hourly rate. The Brooklyn Store is very very dusty and dirty and has Rats. Don't want to give employees that work a Full time hours Full time benefits and keep the employee under part time with part time benefits. Coupons are annoying because if the customer uses a $50 off coupon you only get the commission of the remaining balance of the products Need more Female sales associates The Brooklyn store is sexist against females as in promoting them to other departments that nots General sales System employees barely work General sales have to put away over 5 rack of merchandise every Tuesday Thursday and Friday for $4.00 an hour the Brooklyn store barely has any room for merchandise so everything is over cluttered and messy and disorganized

Our Brooklyn store has been completely reset and we are looking forward to additional retailers moving into our building. We have several new managers including a new General Manager. Our Regional HR Manager is in the building at least once a week if there are issues that need to be addressed. Our goal is to make your work experience a positive one and it appears there were issues that did not get addressed before you left. I hope you will contact me directly at 614-850-3151 to discuss your concerns. Angie Miller VP - HR

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
