Pros

The discount is great and I really liked the direction of the company and the great leadership of higher up people within the organization. They have a good training program and allow employees to trade information among themselves.

They have a good training program and allow employees to trade information among themselves. They do a good job of keeping everyone informed of what is going on throughout the company and the growth has truly been amazing.

Cons

Some of the downsides include a schedule which is somewhat limited and not very flexible. I think they could do a better job with some of their lower level store managers since many of them have very limited experience and were often on power trips. The hours can get a little long especially during the holidays and they don't like when you share your discount with others. They need to pay a little better and offer better benefits even for part-time employees. There were often conflicts between managers who would tell you one thing and then another one will tell you something else.

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.
