Pros

fun laid back fast paced work environment, great incentive program that they don't really tell you about I got a beats pill in the mail and had to ask to find out about it basically every few months you get stuff like that shipped to you for training completions. Employee discount on GSP was awesome basically free and only good towards certain items through the store. Plus you get to use all of the new technology that comes out on a daily basis.

Cons

Black Friday is a pain they seem to have better hours for that now but they do serve employees dinner. If your doing something wrong they won't tell you. I kept getting sent home because of a very small stupid thing that I was apparently doing but no one ever told me otherwise. Also hours are not too great but if you need to take time off you might as well be asking to be fired as I ran into complications with that as well during blackout dates I informed them of this before I was hired so I'm still not sure how it happened. Also didn't seem to have any issue closing for weather, there was an EF 5 class tornado that ripped apart Washington, IL the neighboring town not far away along with a bad rain storm, while the building was large no one even seemed to show the slightest concern about the storm at all I found that odd.

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.
