Pros

Great Co-workers, good employee discount, surrounded by books, the work itself was nice i really loved helping customers find books

Cons

District manager sucked, ended 401k retirement plans before Covid lockdowns even happened, used covid as an excuse to fire everyone, laid off everyone who had any seniority or benefits or was making more than minimum wage, no room for advancement, shipping practices are from the stone age
