Pros

The best group of employees you will ever meet. Everyone you work with has at least one thing in common, they love books. Great Insurance Benefit (It was paid for by the company when I worked there, don't think it is anymore) Benefit: Every month you accrue one Vacation, one Holiday and one sick day.

When I put in my notice I was making 8
