Pros

When I worked for the company (up until april 2014) there were many ways to move up in the company. It has since changed in that the amount of leadership was more than cut in half, limiting the variety of avenues and positions available to the majority of employees who are either part time or full time. I will say that the company is great at training, but to move up it is 100% on what you put into your growth and letting leadership know what your intentions are. Don't count on someone else moving you up in the company, but build strong relationships to ensure you are seen.

Cons

The company has changed the overall structure, not confident in the future of the company as a whole. I now see leadership as WAY overworked and underpaid. People should absolutely have to work hard, but the amount of recent change would make life in the big box more than demanding.

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.
