Pros

Discounts on books I guess

Cons

Unprofessional and unsympathetic management, terrible hours would have to get there at 6am to throw away unwanted loads of perfectly fine books and media, has to juggle lots of tasks with unrealistic expectations, the pay was crap for the amount of labor, my mental health declined working there

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.
