Pros

Discounts on books I guess

Cons

Unprofessional and unsympathetic management, terrible hours would have to get there at 6am to throw away unwanted loads of perfectly fine books and media, has to juggle lots of tasks with unrealistic expectations, the pay was crap for the amount of labor, my mental health declined working there
