Pros

For the most part, it's a fun place to work. You get treated with repect by management and with the right co-workers it can be a blast. Cool job if your in high school or college. The discount is very good. Pay is fair.

Cons

This job comes with an expiration date. Don't stay to long or it will get OLD really fast. The amount of hours you get in a week is like a roller coaster. One week you can get 12 hours next week 36 hours, so if you want a predictable paycheck then move on. The store vibe can be stressful and chaotic at times and it depends on your management if the store you work at is fun and laid back or stuck up and tight. Over 2 and half years I've seen a number of managers come and go. The low-level employee’s stay longer then the managers.

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.
