Pros

A lot of fun, great people to work with, not to hard. Parties can be difficult if you aren't comfortable with kids and all that goes into the parties.

Cons

Retail hours Could have been paid better not enough hours at the end.

Pros

Stress-free, tasks are easy, adorable children. My managers are extremely nice. I get breaks.

Cons

I'm forced into doing things I'd rather not do, like carry an animal in a backpack on my back. I think it's degrading.
