Pros

Work from home most of the time. Occasionally you'll find a high-value, in-demand book that reaps a decent profit, but this is offset by the devaluation of books already listed and/or scarcity of such books. The company does provide fairly good seller service.

Cons

Far too much competition from other booksellers on Amazon.com with a "race-to-the-bottom" price mentality.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
