Pros

Discount was decent. The paid but useless meetings were a nice break from hassling ignorant customers.

Cons

I received no useful product knowledge, just did little computer slideshows on poorly working Imacs. There is a very complicated "not on commission, might as well be" numbers game in which you could sell something expensive and not have it matter to your insane quotas. As a result of this, my coworkers were cutthroat and unhelpful and barely showed me anything. I had an attitude anybody who set foot in the store should be helped which I was mocked for. My manager took over a department in which he knew nothing about the product. I observed department managers pushing insane add-ons to people who didn't need them. It was clear that management had contempt for most customers. Security guys were rude and bullyish. Breakroom had mostly inoperable snack/soda machines

Pros

Pay, fairly easy to communicate, lot of work, flexible schedule

Cons

Big corporation, impossible to implement new ideas that actually work, they change things based on some crazy idea from a Executive that never had any hands on experience, they make major changes out of nowhere!
