Pros

It can be a fun environment at times and getting to see all of the new books coming in before they're put on shelves is nice.

Cons

Extreme micromanaging, unrealistic goals and timelines, not much room for advancement and when there is room it is not an enticing position, terrible raises.

Pros

Great atmosphere, excellent training, very good benefits

Cons

A lot of micromanaging, company throws money out the window wasting time waiting for a supervisor just to okay basic things and paying district managers to travel around for quick visits that could be phone calls.
