Pros

Discounts on consumer electronics. Friendly, family culture. If you can differentiate yourself from others, promotions will come. 5% over wholesale is a great discount to have. They put a lot of effort into making the corporate office a great place to work.

Cons

Even when posting record profits, with a BILLION dollars in the bank, they still like to fire thousands of people to make sure that shareholders are taken care of. Shareholders are very important, but not more important than the quality of life for the people that make the machine run. You have no job security with this company.

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.
