Pros

The culture of the company, work relationships formed over time, the career advancement potential (sometimes), variety of work rolls available in the field. Best in the consumer electronics field, especially compared to the train wreck that is Circuit City right now. The Local leadership and management teams.

Cons

Life Balance is always an ongoing challenge, constant re-orgs over the years that have resulted in major uncertainty for the future and many people in positions they don't understand, especially at the corporate office. This has also resulted in a very difficult environment to navigate when getting business support or answers to questions.

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.
