Pros

There is decent pay, spend much of the time looking at people's computers and diagnosing the problems. It is relatively simple if you know what problems there are. Because we get paid by hour, there is usually time to relax during early hours when there isnt much people at the store. The store is also has air conditioning and also there are employee discounts mostly on best buy branded products.

Cons

Sometimes there are very annoying people to deal with. They would not ask for help because they think they know more than you. There are also other who would never buy anything for the price it is worth.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
