Pros

Work life balance Flexible hours Fair compensation and bonus structure Watching our guests create not only a bear, but a memory too.

Cons

In the retail world, most holidays tend to be the busiest work times. It is the same here, but you would be hard pressed to find a retail store that wasn't that way.
