Pros

I've been with HPB almost two years. it's a great company to work for just to pass the time, or if you want to climb the ladder. If you make it known that you're interested in advancement, they'll help you along. Great benefits, FREE health, dental, vision!! Free Employee assistance (i.e psychological help) and you also get a quarterly profit based bonus (usually anywhere from 300-600 extra dollars). We're one of the few companies that actually profited during the recession, and even added more stores during this time.

Cons

Work load can be a little over bearing at times. You have to handle people's dirty stinky books. They smell like cat pee and cigarettes most of the time. Sometimes we even find dead animals and live bugs in boxes. We just make them take the back home in that case though.

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.
