Pros

It's a casual environment, where you're allowed to have a unique personality. A lot of great team work among the booksellers, they understand that essentially everyone on staff is wearing the same color jersey.

Cons

It's a retail job, and has all the unavoidable downsides of retail. Customers can be jerks, the turnover is high (causing some areas to be understaffed at times), and the workload is never ending. Books continue to be brought in daily, and everyone is expected to keep up with it. This is not so much a con, as just the nature of the work. Know what you signed up for (a retail job), and take it for what it is.

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.
