Former Employee – worked at RadioShack part-time for more than a year
Pros – Learned basic selling skills. Good pay for teenager if you sell enough cell phones. Good experience working with a team.
Cons – Store locations in poor areas make it impossible to sell cellphones (other than Sprint). Accessories are not good quality, makes pushing them on customers harder, you learn who the "suckers" are and basically rip them off.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at RadioShack part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – -Flexible schedule
-Potential for income growth
-Technology exposure
Cons – -Cell-phone focused sales despite thousands of other store SKUs
-Also do stocking, pricing and inventory
-Job Security
-I saw several people lose their jobs for not selling enough phones or features. This is a hard position for those that aren't motivated to sell and meet quotas. Takes the right kind of person. Someone social and engaging.

Former Employee – worked at RadioShack part-time for less than a year
Pros – Friendly environment, nothing too hard to do, general retail stuff
