Pros

Decent pay, especially if your able to move up. If you've got talent you'll move up fairly quickly. Discounts are nice and being young won't hold you back like at most companies especially if you are self motivated and passionate about your work. Very customer oriented and can be rewarding if you share the same attitude.

Cons

Short breaks really suck (30min...retail standard) Management can be extremeley short-sighted at times, holidays (if u're full time u are paid)

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.
