Pros

Incentives to reach sales goals, decent benefit plan if you reach full time, hours can be reasonable

Cons

Systemic culture of abuse that goes several levels up (above district and regional management and HR). An employee and get exceptional reviews, get employee of the month several times, hit sales goals, and go above and beyond the job description and still be told that “women just aren’t suited to sales”, that their “morals are holding them back from management”, their accurate health and safety reports could get the “manager in trouble”, and end up getting fired without cause three days after filing disability paperwork with the company. I was actively told that I wouldn’t be allowed to move up or out of the company while I was there, and just waited to get fired.

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.
