Pros

They work with you when needed. Pay is decently competitive. Easy place to work at, not much hassle, at least in Geek Squad. The work is fun, some customers may get to you but that's with every job.

Cons

Very political. Hard to grow if you're in a store where new leadership already has an idea of who they want to put in specific roles. Most managers or GM's bring over their staff into full time or leadership positions that others who were already working at a specific store deserved a fair shot at.

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.
