Pros

I loved the discount. Made a lot of friends. Learned a lot about retail sales and outbound shipping processing.

Cons

Early shifts on the weekends, took advantage of me because I was willing to work harder than other part time employees hired right before and after me. Sales associates treat Inventory workers with little respect. Overall job was way too stressful. My advice is care as little as possible to reduce stress. Don't volunteer to come in early or work late. We were never caught up. Management was pretty awful. Wish I would of kept my previous job that paid less.

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.
