Fun Tech company with it's own pros and cons
Pros: There is never a dull moment around the store, and because everyone who works there is passionate about the brand and about the company, it's some great common ground to get started when meeting and talking to your coworkers.  The pay starts significantly higher than many other retail positions
Cons: Store politics.  Holy cow.  The managers are all buddy buddy, and give promotions based on friendships and being a bit of a kiss up.  Rarely have I seen a promotion based on merit.  Also, no commission.  This is understandable, as some people typically sell more than others (are scheduled for sales, as opposed to workshops or setup), but when we are selling over 10,000 work of product in a single day...  $16/hr almost feels insulting.  Maybe offer a bonus structure or something similar?
