Pros

The positive atmosphere that is usually attained within management is positive and probably not seen otherwise in retail for such a landmark company.

Cons

The store can be a very positive work environment, though turn around of management is high, whether it be of their own accord or the company shuffle used to train. Having the wrong manager come in with an eye out to fire people without getting to know them was a huge negative.

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.
