Pros

Great discount Amazing benefits (2 weeks sick, 2 weeks vacation, 2 weeks of holidays) Bonuses quarterly ( CEO gets same amount as a bookseller) 1st choice of books Hour paid lunch

Cons

The shifts, one day you will open (8am), the next a mid (11) next close (3:30). The rarely give you two days off in a row and your schedule changes weekly so there is barely any time for a normal life. The sick policy is harsh, you are not supposed to call in a day before or a day after a scheduled day off.

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.
