Pros

you're only in it for part time and you don't mind being treated like a commission sales rep even though you only get paid hourly. The discount is good, the co-workers are awesome.

Cons

Management has almost zero product knowledge and on most days will do less work than the entry level employees. Managers push you to sell even though they're the only ones who bonus if you do. No matter how well or how poor the stores numbers are your pay will be the same. Unless you are an amazing kiss ass you won't be promoted or get a substantial raise for a long time.

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.
