Pros

I used to be able to work from home which was a big plus - but they took that away in 2014. Some good managers that appreciated your hard work.

Cons

They require you to work at least 45 hours a week - but only pay you for 40 hours a week. Most of my managers did not know how to manage. they were promoted because someone above them liked them. When I left, I had an exit interview which was a joke. The HR person wrote it in a little notebook with a lot of other notes. When I asked if it would be entered into the system, I was told there is no place to enter it. They just keep the exit interviews in notebooks. They keep cutting workers until now there are not enough people to do the job.

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.
