Pros

- Lots of fun people to work with. - Especially enjoyed all the good looking girls that would walk into the store and ask for my help, made for a great way to pick up some numbers. - The floor managers, known as "Leads" let you work where you wanted as long as you justified it to them and they approved it. For example, I was originally supposed to work on the iPods side of the store, but after explaining my self to the leads, they let me switch to Computers. - Management would encourage you to take breaks throughout the day (you get a lunch, and two 15 minute breaks)

Cons

- Can be extremely over whelming when the store gets busy. It is by far busier than any other store in Soho or retail experience. - Sometimes the leads would make you do awful things like work the register or use the easy pays.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
