Pros

Employee discount. It was a good job while I went to college. Overall the coworkers were friendly and fun to work with.

Cons

The pay is hourly and not very good. A commissioned job in the same industry pays a lot more. Also management sets high expectations for employees and can get very angry when those goals are not met. Managers are not all qualified for their jobs.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
