Pros: The benefits are absolutely incredible and my co-workers were amazing. At first, we were like a big family but management ruined that. Anyways, I had an opportunity to explore new opportunities and gain experience that I'm able to use personally and with other jobs. Microsoft is truly an amazing company and I believe their values are sincere but, of course, there a couple of handful of people who ruin a good thing.
Cons: Considering I worked for Microsoft and the bit of insight I knew about Microsoft's finances, eventually I began to feel underpaid. Compared to our competition, retail jobs do not pay a lot unless you're in management or working as a teacher. However, they expect you to handle so much crap and juggle multiple duties that other people are being PAID to do. Management at my store was an absolute joke and it's the reason I quit. It was a lot of shady things occurring in our store and favoritism was a huge issue as well. People were not held accountable for their mistakes or lack of work unless management didn't like you. After constantly complaining and filing lawsuits against the store manager, most of the management has been replaced but it personally left a bad taste in my mouth for Microsoft.
