Great for young people working part-time. Full-time as an adult with a family? Forget it.
Pros: • Some of the most intelligent and helpful people you'll ever work with.
• Always exciting to see new tech come out and get the public excited too.
• Great customers, life-long friendships.
• If you are a young student, it is a great place to get paid well while you study.
Cons: • Politics, two-faced and fake individuals, nepotism; management is full of bullies whose behaviour is tolerated, and because no one really doesn't anything about it. Feedback doesn't do anything to change them or your situation. Complaining doesn't do anything. The best managers who really care and do what they can to help you get fired or forced out. HR doesn't help you with anything, ever. You'll be bounced around like a tennis ball and then forgotten about.
• Brainwashing you to tell you how great you are daily. But it's retail all the same. It's a game. If you don't play, you'll be treated with disdain until they find a reason to fire you or you quit out of desperation. Being honest and hardworking is not rewarded. Kissing butt does. Being intelligent, opinionated and not taking crap is not what they want. They want drones who will work hard, smile and shut up.
• Your life revolves around work, not the other way around. Forget work/life balance, despite them talking about it all the time.
