Pros

Great learning experience, extremely fun, plenty of room for advancement, tool provided to get job done, competent upper management, amazing discount and employee accomodations, reasonable hours and scheduling, plenty of fairness, get to play with all the newest technology, learn everything you need to know-just like being in a classroom. Benefits are great, tuition reimbursement, room to move around between departments and learn new things. Great quarterly bonus for great selling.

Cons

Often poor performing sales associates are tracked heavily on their sales, despite not being on commission. Sales techniques are required to work here at low pay. I would think for how much you have to sell thousand dollar merchandise with 30-40% in extras there would be better pay, but still great place to work.

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.
