Fun, if you make it fun
Immensely social. It’s very easy to make friends with other employees. The pay is famously higher range for retail, hiring entry-level. Responsible and attentive management. Health coverage is competitive and inclusive. Complimentary executive membership. Lots of locations and easy to transfer once you’re in. Lateral mobility is plentiful and upward mobility after that is worth the while if you stick it out. Again, pay range is impressively above that of competing retailers.
Part-time employees are expected to work 5 days per week. This leads to a weak work-life balance. The job can be very physically demanding and punishing if not careful. It is always busy. Some may see this as a con, while others may see it as a pro. It depends on the day.
Consider the compressed work week. 4-10s over 5-8s has been effective elsewhere and offers improved work-life balance for many people.

The interview process includes typical retail experience questions and scenario-based questions and answers. It is dependent on the warehouse, but it typically involves the candidate and the department manager. Overall, a fairly simple process.
