Tag team awards allow your passions to be rewarded ($1,000 for 40 hours donated to 503c, $2,000 if you are on the board). Opportunities for bonus (PT up to $1200/yr, FT up to $2400/yr, supervisors hourly with up to 15%/m+ 15%/QTR with Mobile Managers extra 15%/m, Managers 15%/m+15%/qtr+ up to 40% yearly) and trips.

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.
