Pros

Good people to be around. Great if you are into media, generally interested in stuff, and a people person.

Cons

The work is never done and the amount of stuff that gets processed can be overwhelming. This is not the fault of the company, but its difficult not to think on waste in such an environment.

Pros

Family environment with coworkers, great employee discount, and benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

The schedule. Late nights, weekends, and all but two holidays are fair game in this retail environment.

Decent job while in school

Pros

Although you have your fair share of weirdos visiting the store, it was still a great place to work while still in school. Discounts are awesome so were their benefits. I got along with everyone I worked with. It's really a nice, chill place to be (when it isn't during crazy holiday seasons).

Cons

None that I can think of
