Pros

Lots of vacation time, you get your own sections which gives a fun sense of ownership. Good medical benefits at the time. Bonuses were divided evenly among everyone in the company which was really cool.

Cons

hourly pay is not spectacular, They closed my store :(, middle management seemed not great but I didn't interact with them much.

Pros

Amazing benefits, friendly environment, not on your feet all day (if you prefer that), no micromanagement because your supervisors are actually supportive, promotes/hires internally

Cons

Only 35hrs a week bc the 1hr lunch isn’t included in work time, pay is not too much, can be stressful to your back with sitting at a computer all day and/or helping sort book returns
