Pros

None. This has been the worst experience that I have had working in a retail store. I would not recommend working here.

Cons

The most minimal training possible: The only training I received was through E-learning's and basic merchandise techniques. Completely disorganized: This was the worst backroom I ever stepped in. There also was not a system set up to look for specific items in the backroom. The backstock had to looked for around the store. Anti-social managers: The managers barely barely spoke. When they did, they looked off in the distance like there was no one standing in front of them. They also believed that should not have to train anyone since, "everyone should already know what they are doing".

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.
