Pros

My department always had nice people who were committed to doing a good job. The discount is great. Some managers really want the company to succeed, and work hard with their employees to make this happen.

Cons

Too corporate; too many acronyms, too many "team-building meetings", too many sudden changes in policy. The pay was on the bad side of mediocre. Too many managers are number-hounds who forget that they are working with people, not robots.

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.
