Pros

Nice discount, insurance is great, pay is not bad for retail. Flexible hours and day off requests.

Cons

They keep shrinking the amount of sick time and vacation leave available. They sent us a lot of 'new' stuff which is just stuff they bought cheaply from random distributors. And they MADE us put it out before anything else even if there was no room. I'm talking like fifty puzzles a week, when no one bought them.
