Pros

The discount and the people you work with in your department.

Cons

No room for error, you can be an employee for 1 year or over 10 years but if you make a selective mistake they with terminate you or run you out the door. They will under pay you and will not accommodate family and personal medical situations. They never provide with the correct information regarding a potential promotion or job change especially if you are planning to leave to another store.

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.
