Pros

Flexible Good work environment Friendly coworkers Great discount Low stress Flexible dress code Ok benefits

Cons

I love books and I love working with books. This is the best job I've ever worked. I have a lot of fun and if I could I would stay with the company for quite a while. Unfortunately they don't pay their people enough. Minneapolis raised its minimum wage to 15 an hour. I know small businesses that are raising their pay to that gradually. Meanwhile, I'm barely making it with the pay I get from HPB. Even a few dollars more an hour would make a big difference. They need to learn to treat their employees better, wage wise.

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
