Pros

Good job fresh out of college. Good pay for first year without prior experience. You will become good at sales with this job. Opportunity to move up but only if you are willing to relocate. Off during holidays.

Cons

Real long hours. During Tax Time (January-May) expect to work 60hrs/week. All other months work about 50+ hours depending on how staffed the store is. You have the ability to move up but only if you relocate. And when you get your first promotion to Senior Sales Advisor you get the same pay if not less then you would as a Sales Advisor. So you get promoted to make less which doesn't make sense. You have to get promoted to Sales Manager before you make good money (about 65k-80k). In the mean time, work your butt off for 60+hrs/week and wait possibly a few years before something opens up or relocate.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
