Pros

The company has a great message and depending on the store you work at you will enjoy almost every day. The customers for the most part are nerds just like you and love chatting about all the new stuff.

Cons

It’s hard to move up in any position without having to move locations and that is solely dependent on if someone else leaves. The pay is also not competitive at all with little to no raises beyond a promotion raise. Management will change their expectations every other day and expect you to be perfect 100% of the time. They say they care about the employees but don’t actually try to get to know anyone.

Pros

You're surrounded by pop culture items constantly, always knowing what's new to come (perfect job for a collector). It's a fun environment, you basically get paid to talk about your interests with customers and the managers and coworkers are very understanding and accommodating. The benefits are amazing; 30% off both in store and online, as well as 40% off at Hot Topic due to BoxLunch being its sister company.

Cons

If you have trouble talking to people/social anxieties, you're forced into talking with every single customer that walks into the store. Not just the basic "how are you?" "how can I help you?", but you have to genuinely start a conversation with them (it's daunting at first but it honestly helped me open up and be more social and outgoing in the long run).
