Pros

You get to interact with people, get a good employee discount (except with big-ticket items such as HDTV's, etc..) and can move up the ladder a bit if you are a hard worker and know the right people.

Cons

Not flexible with the hours scheduled, management can be quite rude, working as a cashier can be exhausting and some management does not treat staff well.

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.
