Pros

Hour lunch break at corporate, which is rare for entry level.

Cons

Amazon is now seeking pro products so the company is burning from the inside, multiple resignations, jobs won't be secure for long. Aside from that. - employees are grossly underpaid per industry standard. If you talk about pay you get scolded. - projects and "special" promotions aren't rewarded with pay, and you'll continue to make the same for "reasons". Meanwhile your team members for these new opportunities get paid twice, sometimes three times as much and have to be trained by you. - In fighting. Everyone argues like children, departments and managers will fight each other over petty reasons. The climate of being a yes man or be fired is all that exists so everyone throw each other under the bus. Even asking questions outside of department can get you scolded. - Awful training. Unless you're going in with outside training as a contractor, or have the skillset prior don't expect to learn by any way other than trial and error. - grossly underqualified staff. Having people coming into the IT field at a higher pay who are unable to understand the difference between a computer tower, and a monitor. Along with people who can literally read aloud to you something like "Press OK to clear this message" and ask you what to do. - Constant hiring freezes means departments are understaffed and they can't fire bad employees. Some employees spending 6+ months with the company coming in to just watch movies all day. Other employees are aware, management is aware, but these employees won't be cut until they can hire again. - Everything to IT. Everyone in the company all the way up to the CEO will pass off things to IT even if it's not related. IT as a whole is scolded for not fixing issues they don't have tools to fix. Anything from people trying to get paid, to customers wanting to ask questions. We have both a customer service and HR department. - HR is a joke. Consistently watching movies or goofing off while they've got a 3 month backlog of work. Had to hire outside contractors just to be able to get through the back flow. Due to this backflow HR rejects more work that only they can do and supervisirs/VPs defend them. - Lies and Threats. Leadership claims they are doing things for you, but nothing ever happens and if you pester them about it they claim they need to discuss it with people. Then they immediately follow it up with threats if unemployment if you mention it to anyone else.

Pros

Lots of free product and samples Not usually a massive store to keep up with Discount on products can stack on certain sales You can work here with crazy colored hair

Cons

The drama gets insane The company is NEVER coordinated They will DRAG OUT and avoid giving you raises They will hire in new people with less experience for more money Little to no benefits Usually a tight working schedule since they all seem to struggle to keep staff Little to no protection for workers-most dont even have security cameras But truly, they dont care about employees at all. There were several emergencies in the 9 months I worked there, and they literally left us in a flooded store.
