Great Company
Pros: - Great Work Culture, Chill environment, Stores are very clean and nice to work in, Selling products that I use and love
- Great Pay (Starting was $13.55 an hour in FL)
- Great Benefits (6% 401k match, amazing product discounts, health insurance was top of the line)
- Great job for straight out of college/younger people
- Many opportunities to train in a different job
- 95% of the employees are great people, amazing backgrounds
- Never felt like I was micromanaged
- Lots of breaks
Cons: - Employees are allowed way too much creative license (sometimes can be wacky/unprofessional with customers and do not get in trouble for it)
- Getting a promotion to another position/or full time work is definitely possible, but extremely time consuming, mostly based on how long you have been there, not necessarily how good you are at your job, many people worked there 2-3 years just to get full time for a basic specialist position
- Part time hours not nearly enough to live off of unless you are 30 or under, unless you can live very cheap
- Managers are hit and miss, some were the greatest in retail, some were dull and had a BestBuy type mentality
- Flawed NPS system (This is how you are evaluated)
- A handful of employees are "cultish", and believe that no other company can offer a better job/if you leave apple you are nuts/etc
- About 5% of employees were very lazy/never do there job, management would never say anything, since these people knew they could not get fired
