Pros

One of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. But also, the books! And you're right next door to a lot of sick food options. There's definitely a lot of very smart, funny, genuine, quirky people that are great to be around.

Cons

Wish the pay was better. Props to the union folks who helped get some traction there.

Pros

Great people work there, and the environment is generally very supportive and inclusive.

Cons

While raised in recent years, the salary still remains practically unlivable, especially in Austin, where the cost of living is higher than anywhere else in Texas.

Pros

Discount on books, nice people working there, cool author events

Cons

Very dull role to set up and deconstruct chairs, author materials, etc. I think some staff feel frustration about pay / management but what isn't new. Otherwise generally nice environment and very nice coworkers
