Pros

I got to work in the camera department and, as someone who is into cameras, really enjoyed what I did. I liked interacting with customers and helping them. My co-workers were also a lot of fun. It was a really great experience and I learned a lot from the time I spent there.

Cons

The managers can be tough and it's sometimes difficult to request time off. Schedules don't come out too far in advanced and will often overlap with time you had already requested off. Some weeks you'll work 4 hours, others you'll work 40.

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.
