Pros

Friendly staff, fun customers, great environment to find other musicians, very reasonable management, clean work environment, EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT - this may be the best part.

Cons

Well you can't expect much from the door job. Minimum wage pay or close to it, not much room for promotion unless you want to move to warehouse. Sometimes you're responsible for cleaning the bathrooms.
