Pros

Discounts on books, movies and music.

Cons

Biggest con is little to no pay. It is also pretty difficult to move up in the company unless you "know" someone in higher management or are sleeping with/married to someone that can help you progress. The company used to have a decent benefits package, but even that is changing. Overall, I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking to advance their career in any way in a reasonable amount of time, unless you can meet the above criteria. The company has really gone downhill since I first began. It's too bad, really. I used to actually believe in the company and was excited to make a name for myself there. Oh well, their loss.

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.
