Pros

The best thing was the fact that they were always working on making you better in the sales aspect. Always training you to be better. The discount was super nice too.

Cons

After I was there for a few years you could see the favoritism more and more. You could see the unfair treatment of the way they decided promotions and stopped hiring within. I lost out on a pretty large pay increase because my General Manager was being canned and wanted to make sure the whole team suffered when he decided reviews.

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.
