Pros
For the retail world, Build-a-Bear really treats their employees well. They always have treats, food, and gifts for you during the holidays. It's a great job for a high school or college student.
Cons
Tiring job, especially during the Xmas season. You do a lot more work than the average retail employee but barely get paid above minimum wage. If you don't like kids or have a problem being "on" all the time, it's not the place for you. They constantly push you sell more add-ons for the bear, and it's hard not to laugh about how ridiculous the product is sometimes.
