Pros

Great Community, Great management, Fun environment, Perks, Rewards for doing a great job, recognition for your work, had no problem taking off for vacations, management was understanding for sick days (as long as your didn't take advantage of it)

Cons

Retail, customers, black Friday was absolute hell, sometimes it was hard to learn new products well enough to sell them, extreme push for geek squad protection and tech support and sometimes you were "talked to" about not having enough, punishments for not using the work sheet (I actually got written up for making a sale without one)

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.
