Pros

i get to be around tons of books

Cons

management never encouraging - constantly berating employees as a tactic to increase their sales performance the air conditioning is broken (creating a 85 to 90 degree inside working atmosphere with no moving air) and has been for months on end and neither the store nor corporate is willing to fix it regardless of numerous employee and most importantly, customer complaints

Pros

Opportunities to move up and gain more knowledge, enjoyable workplace with flexibility and open lines of communication. Feel valued and fulfilled. Corporate and home office has improved communication and clarity significantly, Company allows stores more freedom in how they achieve success and what their stores can decide on when it comes to changes and updates.

Cons

In my opinion, pay can be on the lower end. Experience can be dependent on your management/person above you, but that is usual.
