Pros

You get a discount for 10% off toys.

Cons

When you work here, your job is to sell metrics. Metrics being credit cards, protection plans, loyalty programs, batteries. If you are not able to obtain credit card signups on a regular basis, you will see your hours distributed to other associates. Sometimes you will only get one shift a week because of this. It is expected that there should be 1 credit card signup per 50 customers. This does not seem like a lot, but the bonuses for the card does not outweigh the 26.99 apr rating that you get with it.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
