Pros

Co-workers(not anyone from home office) all try to help one another the best we can. You get experience on repairing computers. Its a good first step in your tech career.

Cons

The job got converted to tech position with no extra pay and you are expected to do all your original duties plus the work of two other jobs with out any kind of raise. On top of that got told if I don’t like it I could find another place to work. They won’t hire more staff help with the work load. There is no room for advancement. You basically have to wait for people who have been with the company since it was first created to retire if want a promotion.

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
