Retail at it's worse.
Pros: Great technology. Innovative products that work without complaints from customers.
Clean, safe environment to work in. Talented people work there, but not in the management ranks.
Good discounts on company products for employees.
Cons: Too much pressure to sell add-ons, even if the customers don't need them.
Store management is hired from the shoes & socks retail stores and don't really understand technology and the sales cycle. Management runs the store like a high school. Management under-estimates the talent of the employees. The store manager is king in this environment and if you don't make her happy, your job is over. Sad, very sad.
