Too much work

Pros

The environment was great because of the coworkers I had at the time. We all got along really well and were able to communicate in a functional manner.

Cons

The amount of work you have to do is not sufficient for the amount of pay you receive. You are constantly working by lugging around boxes of books and the retail side of the work can be very exhausting.

Pros

HPB is a wonderful place with wonderful people - they truly hire for culture. They take care to train you and walk you through each station, always ready to help if you have questions.

Cons

The job may seem daunting at first due to the overwhelming amount of information on the floor layout and operations. It takes a while to process and commit to memory.
