Pros

The work itself isn't inherently difficult, but it can be interesting and rewarding, and you always have an opportunity to help someone. The people and environment make it a wonderful place to work.

Cons

The money is beyond terrible, and individual performance appears to have little bearing on advancement or raises. If I could give compensation & benefits a 0, I would. Livable wages come at the supervisory/management level, and opportunities for that sort of advancement are scant despite attrition rates.

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.
