Pros

The discount is one of the main reasons I stick around when I really start to get sick of it. Occasionally, customers are so ridiculous that it just makes your day. My co-workers are pretty cool for the most part and we like to joke around and have fun while making sure customers are taken care of.

Cons

Management is able to get away with way too much. It's no wonder the company is restructuring when Supervisors and Managers walk around the store on their phones all day. Most of the time, issues that you have that aren't HR related are ignored.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

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.
