Pros

Hours can be flexible, fun environment, easy job, They don’t want to fire you so you get away with a lot, no one really holds you accountable for arriving late/other issues

Cons

Pay, you’d work hard dealing with tons of customers while you make pennies and bosses makes disproportionately high wages for less than a fraction of work, management is lazy and pretty uninformed or even uninterested about their job and your job for the most part, communication all around is lacking, everyone shares info within their own friend groups

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

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.
