Pros
Extremely self-rewarding Working with children is great Gives you a lot of skills such as till training and interaction with guests; BAB are very particular about guest experience which is so useful as a lot of other companies want people with experience in working with members of the public. You can have fun with it. Lovely to know you have made a child/adults day. Excellent relationships between bear-builders and management.
Cons
The pay isn't the best for what you are required to do. Constantly have to have a smile on your face and energy levels high which is no fun whilst hungover! Can get very busy and stressful at busy times of the year so you're always kept on your toes. You can never predict just how busy the store will be. At times, can feel like you're doing way too much for the amount you get paid.
