Pros

The benefits overall are great, especially the employee discount. Not only that but it is a ncie environment to work in every day, espcially if you like talking about or just being around electronics all day. Basically if you enjoy electronics and are looking for a good job to help get groceries during college, there is no better choice.

Cons

There is a ridiculous amount of stress from the managers to perform up to their standards but you are not often recognized, or rewarded for your efforts. You can be the hardest worker in the store and make the same amount as the laziest person. They also have unrealistic goals they set, especially given the state of the current economy.

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.
