Pros

Great people, all your co-workers are usually awesome and very helpful. Great employee discount on SOME products. Fun technology. Usually very flexible with scheduling and hours.

Cons

MANAGERS!!! I worked at 3 stores and at every locations managers were awful. They micro-manage and constantly focus on what you do wrong instead of what you are good at. Some managers were fine but if you are considering working for a store, go to the employees in the department you are likely applying for and get their feedback. I guarantee they will be honest... and probably dislike their managers.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
