Pros
-Flexible scheduling; good for students, people wanting/needing a second job, whatever. -Not too strenuous work (you will be lifting some heavy stuff, though). -They're pretty good about hiring from within. So there is potential for growth in the company.
Cons
-You will receive a miniscule increase in pay every year, just barely 2%, while newly hired people get paid a dollar more than you. While the CEO got an extra 3 million, a nice 30% pay bump. Nice job, Craig, I'm sure you worked very hard. -Low pay for what you're expected to do/know. They want you to not only be a warehouse worker and a retail worker; moving heavy stuff across the store without the use of machinery for the most part, occasionally operating heavy machinery, bringing heavy stuff down from the overhead to stock the shelves, directing customers where they need to go, etc. But also know be knowledge about everything in your department and the surrounding departments. Wouldn't be so bad if they paid enough to attract anyone but mostly college kids who don't know anything or a few knowledgeable seniors needing the money. Many of whom are usually either busy helping another person. Do you really want to trust a potentially $1,000+ purchase on the input of a guy barely out of high school? -High likelihood of having not enough staff for how busy the store is. Being both under and overstaffed. You're either constantly helping customers and can't get your department cleaned up, which you will be blamed for, or you're done with everything, you and the other 3 people in your department standing around. -Management encourages you to lie on employee surveys. -The music in the store will eventually drive you to insanity.
