Pros

great benefits, decent hourly pay for a retail job, great if you love being around books and like people.

Cons

Catty leadership, merit-based promotions seem to be a thing of the past--feels like you have to be the boss's friend to get ahead. The raises are scant, and quarterly bonuses are nice--but barely help.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
