Pros

I got lucky- besides my immediate supervisor, the management is great. The other employees are great, and we're all pretty close. It is a respectable place to work, and the pay isn't too bad. The discounts are usually fantastic. If you're into electronics, it's a pretty good place to work.

Cons

If you are literally one minute late clocking in, it will count against you. You definitely can be written up for this. I missed a meeting one time out of the 1 1/2 years of working there because my alarm didn't go off, and I got on final warning. They are very corporate- oriented, you are just another dispensible employee, no matter what. If you're part time, you get no benefit opportunities and good luck on maintaining a reliable amount of hours per week. Mine range from 38 to 10. Hard to pay bills with that instability.

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.
