Pros

- Hardly anybody actually buys tech in person anymore, so low traffic (mostly boomers and older are the ones shopping, take that as you will) - No expertise needed, a literal monkey could be trained to pitch Totaltech and credit cards (most important employee statistic)

Cons

- Sit through dozens of hours of online training that is mostly propaganda instead of information on how to preform your job -"Training" is just a series of shifting goal posts - Encouraged to manipulate and lie to Senior citizen customers to get them to spend more and buy things they don't need. Especially the totaltech membership, so that they forget to turn off auto-renew and extract even more wealth from the Elderly. - Witnessed a fellow employee who is a Person of Color be disciplined for being late due to riding the bus. Multiple instances of racist and bigoted management harassing this employee and others. -Requires employees to install multiple apps on their personal devices, complete with insane amounts of push notifications

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.
