Pros

The hiring practices at this company seem to favor intelligent, creative, friendly people. If you are any of those things, you will fit in and really like working at HPB. If you do not identify as a nerd of some stripe, this company might not be for you.

Cons

Standing on your feet all day can be grueling. Make sure to not scrimp on decent footwear. This job is way more physically taxing than many assume work in a bookstore would be. But if you're healthy and get enough sleep, you should be able to handle it.

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.
