Pros

Pros of working in a retail setting is simple; flexible schedules, learning environment, majority of the time, you work with good people who are there to learn, make a difference, and encourage their fellow employees.

Cons

Paychecks seem to be a constant con that comes with a retail job, I also do not like working on holidays. IE: Christmas Eve. Personally, I think that in itself is a complete travesty. But then again, I guess there are people who do not celebrate Christmas Eve or anything of that nature. Oh 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.
