Pros

Being an employee has far better perks than being a leader for the company. Benefits (Health, 401k which is gone at this time, PTO use it or lose it).

Cons

ALL responsibility for others roles or lack of others work lands on leadership. Worked to the bone, making significant sacrifices just to hold the walls from falling over. Poor leadership everywhere, disengaged workers doing the minimum to get by and a huge lack of pride are present everywhere.

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.
