Pros

Nice place to work if you don't mind dealing with all sorts of customers. Employee discounts are nice if you enjoy spending your measly paycheck on the over priced products. My coworkers are really nice but don't seem interested in working there. very few are interested in career advancement as they use the place as a stepping stone for better jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Not enough product training and opportunities for advancement can be skittish. For example I wanted to advance to an assistant manager position but was told that I do not qualify and of course was passed over by someone else who was new and did not have any managerial experience.

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.
