Pros

Its a great way to make a lot of important contacts, especially dealing with business customers, and of course there are perks and incentives like discounts and other accommodations. In many cases as well there are some very passionate people working there and they can be some good friends as well.

Cons

Some cases there is some unfairness as far as how promotions and raises are handled, but thats more or less a thing with individual managers not wanting too much change, one of the things that bugs me the most is that if you are too good in one area they wont let you try to get good and move to another area because they have to rely too much on you in that first area, it hurts especially when on that track there is little room to move on up the ladder.

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.
