Pros

Flexible hours, work isn't hard just tiresome. They are really good about fitting work around school and all other activities. It is a great place to start working while in college or looking for good work experiance.

Cons

Customers are idiots. Advancement opportunities go to people that kiss ass, not the best performers. It was very discouraging when some smuck gets a promotin over you when you have a degree in Business Administartion and they are in "the right place at ther right 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.
