Pros

None. This has been the worst experience that I have had working in a retail store. I would not recommend working here.

Cons

The most minimal training possible: The only training I received was through E-learning's and basic merchandise techniques. Completely disorganized: This was the worst backroom I ever stepped in. There also was not a system set up to look for specific items in the backroom. The backstock had to looked for around the store. Anti-social managers: The managers barely barely spoke. When they did, they looked off in the distance like there was no one standing in front of them. They also believed that should not have to train anyone since, "everyone should already know what they are doing".

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.
