Pros

Great PTO and benefits for full time employees.

Cons

Until Covid hit, it was an amazing place to work. Recent CEO is not focused on employees at all and I see so many good employees that have been here for almost a decade leaving because of lack of opportunity to advance or grow. Poorly managed from the top, which is a new thing the last few years. In store managers have little power to change anything and most employees feel unimportant and expendable despite their efforts.

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.
