Pros

The other employees in my store are great for the most part (the ones that are left) and they are the only reason I'm still here.

Cons

During the pandemic corporate saw record numbers in online sales with very little store staffing, so they thought it would be a good idea to push this business model. Cutting much of the long tenured employees in favor of part time employees and drastically reduced labor spending. Slowly increasing store hours while spending less on labor leaves many employees spread very thin trying to assist multiple customers at a time.

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.
