Pros

amazing employee discount, some co workers are ok, cross training for different departments available could lead to better sales jobs once you leave.

Cons

Horrible managment at my particular store. Treated employees as if they were 3 years old, constantly worried about making metrics. So much so that they would intrude on the sale and scare customers from buying anything. Also there isn't a organized training program so employees are kind of left to fend for themselves. Pay raises are a joke as well.

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.
