Average Retail Experience
Pros: The culture is a pretty inviting one. There are monthly employee events to boost morale. Plus, you get free drinks and snacks which is unheard of at the retail level.

The health and dental benefits package is a pretty good one which also includes a fitness reimbursement for things like a gym membership or gym equipment.
Cons: Fellow coworkers are pretty cool but there is a tendency to hire really young staff who either don't care about the job or don't really know much about technology. 

Not much room for growth.

Staff discounts are horrible. Same as the education discount given to students. 

Work/Life balance sucks but that's just like any other retail position.
