Pros

Benefits, discounts if you need it, Great training for managers.

Cons

50hr work weeks (10hr shifts each day), ridiculous meetings at 7am when you aren't scheduled until 2pm, talking about "shareholder expectations" with kids who work 5hrs every 2 weeks, and then being forced to fire them when the GM wants to give the hrs to someone else. Having your position deleted across the country and having to re-apply for something else.

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.
