Pros

They offer a pretty good discount.

Cons

Like any other retail store, you have to deal with BS either from customers or managers. Workers get promoted based on how cool they are with managers, if they are sleeping with them, and finally, if they carry on the role and responsibility for the title they want before they actually get compensated for it. Meaning, you have to take the role of a supervisor and deal with all the crap for like 8 months or so before you even get the opportunity to JOS for the job and even then the title is not secure.

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.
