Retail at its best
Pros: -store managers care about their employees, customers, and company image. They look after their employees and what’s best for them, and not just restricted to company-related issues. They really develop their community.
-Fantastic benefits and bonuses through microsoft
-State of the art tech and laptops on display in the stores
-Great service bar with knowledgeable staff
-Great product advisors with knowledge of the current market
-Most of the team is willing to teach, share knowledge, and get new employees up to speed fast.
Cons: -Some managers are clearly placed through nepotism/politics (like most of retail) and don’t do a great job, but the heart is still there.
-“big company” politics are still very much front and center, sometimes the managers can only do so much to support the store and their team without being overruled by corporate.
-The best of the best of...a retail job.
