Pros

Fun environment and good pay. There is always a chance to get recognized and grow in the company. Maybe not during these bad times but when the economy is good, you can become anything you want to strive for in the company and the managers will help you. If you are full time, they have a nice tuition assistance program.

Cons

It gets too busy and there is a lot of favoritism. Sometime you can go 6 hours straight with customer after customer and no breaks, also the scheduling is an issue sometime with a certain amount of money and bad forecasting plans the under and over schedule. But its retail thats what you have to deal with.

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.
