Pros

Great atmosphere. You work with great people, you will make a lot of friends working there. They have some good policies in place to show you that they appreciate the work you do for them. The general idea is great and they definitely have some good ideas. How they are executed is a different story.

Cons

Not very good advancement opportunities. If you do a good job or you try to do a good job, maybe eventually you will get recognized. Also be ready to be policed. Everything that you do will be evaluated, 0 latitude for errors or ingenuity. They want you to do something in one way and if you don't you will be talked to. Maybe they should hire robots to do the job exactly how they want it

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

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.
