Pros

Community, Location, Books, and Good Discounts

Cons

The pay is stupid low. You can't pay your bills, no one cares, and you if you question the system they will push you out. Don't work here.

Pros

Incredible coworkers, great events, great audiences, and strong, accessible management. You really do feel like part of a community.

Cons

Inconsiderate audience members- it happens, however rarely, but they are the only minor downside to the job.

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.
