Pros

Half-off discount on almost everything in store for employees, first crack at incoming books/media.

Cons

Management never allowed me to take my full breaks or lunches, insulted my appearance in front of other employees and customers, and withheld my original final paycheck from me for over a month after I quit because I quit without providing notice. Additionally, because the MOD (manager on duty) changes every hour, there is zero accountability among the managers, and employees ignore the schedule at will.
