Job entirely depends on your team
Pros: Microsoft is an amazing company to work for! Unfortunately, retail suffers and feels disconnected from the rest of the company. Depending on the team you end up with, work can either be extremely awesome or extremely miserable. Perks with the company are some of the best, and the company truly does value your work life balance.
Cons: Pros aside, the team I ended up with was extremely subpar. It is very apparent that management does not value gaming and offered little to no support since it was not a priority within the store. It was an extremely stressful job since you are expected to work retail and also cover the admin end of the position on top of that. What could have been a super awesome opportunity within gaming turned out to be one of the most stressful experiences in terms of work.
