Pros

If you enjoy seeing kids smile then this job is the right place for you, You get to make their experience one of a kind and memorable as they pick out their favorite stuffed animal.

Cons

It's deafening and retail-based so if you are not great at sales or are very sensitive to loud noises it's not the best place to work
