Pros

For me, the employee discount. Not sure if it's the same today as it was a few years ago, but if you love electronics it's a great place to work. My co-workers were good people too, that definitely made it enjoyable.

Cons

The morning meetings were a drag. Having to be there at 6:30am Saturday morning, usually once a month, was not fun. Granted, the managers tried to make it as painless as possible, because let's face it, I don't think they wanted to be there either. Meetings usually consisted of store performance review (numbers, data, etc...), employee awards, new product rollouts, training.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
