Pros

Fun environment, opportunity for upward mobility, the employees have a comradery that helps you to get through situations that are caused by the misguidance of Supervisors and management

Cons

Most employees are part time with no or limited benefits. The way they structure holiday pay is as if you do not get it ie; get paid for holiday and have to take an extra day of within the same pay period. I have worked with some managers who are not very competent in training effectively as well as not conveying expectations effectively. Training is not effective and not focused to ensure success which helps to creates a very stressful work environment

Pros

- Easy. You never get extremely technical questions. Although, I could answer them, most questions are answered by just reading the information on the price tag (processor, RAM, screen size, LED/LCD/Plasma, etc.) - Level 4. You're never called up to cashier or do much else. You're stuck in your department. It's good sometimes, but other times they might need you to go to the grocery department.

Cons

- Little hours at my club. I might get 10 to 15 hours in electronics. I have to make it up by working in the other departments. - Pressure to sell warranties and Plus memberships. Most of the other departments cover Plus, but we just switched out managers and he wants to see warranties.

Pros

The Flexibility of the Job is outstanding and with the 2 dollar an hour night differential pay it is quite appealing. The work is not difficult and the breaks that are given are very energizing. Late night exercise is good for everyone. You get paid for holidays even if you don't work on that day (under certain circumstances). Medical benefits are available even to part-time workers

Cons

The hours may be a little harsh for those who are used to sleeping at night. Some of the jobs that are done in the store should be paid a lot more; Especially since heavy equipment is utilized in the performance of nightly duties. Though the 2 dollars for everyone working nights is substantial, it does not seem like enough for all of the work. Lunches are limited to 30 minutes and are not paid, thus you end up working only 7 and a half hours though you are there for 8. No merit raises and the maximum raise one can receive is 60 cents per year.
