Pros: Great benefits
You get a much more lax feeling from those in Redmond-based divisions, creating that One Microsoft feel
Loads of resources like LinkedIn Learning for personal development
Cons: Management in Retail isn't like in Corporate, cannot escalate to skip or elsewhere or you get in trouble
Schedule is flexible, but not much unless you're a PA or SVA as there are more of them throughout Retail
Might only be two or three of you at most, so management isn't looking to move you elsewhere
Hard to move elsewhere in the store
Sometimes management doesn't appreciate what your role does for the store
Your coworkers might not understand how much work your job entails and might treat you with disrespect
Pay raises are yearly negative or positive aligned with everyone else in the store. If a lot of people get a higher raise, you're probably getting less
