Pros

Employee discount of course, and seeing/working with the latest technology. Management for the most part is good, and if your store does good the "Blue crew bucks" bonus can be nice.

Cons

Well, for one the section of my store is understaffed during peak hours (which are seemingly at random times). The job stress can be too much to handle sometimes, when you are working with 2 clients at the same time, trying to answer the phone that's ringing off the hook and somehow managing to repair computers as well. And when management calls agents to the floor to help sell computers they wonder why we get pissed.

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.
