Pros

Build a Bear is a play to work type of environment. I like the non-pressure sales approach that is used by our company. Maxine Clark is a women who works hard and makes an excellent role model.

Cons

I am unable to take school vacation time with my children since this our busiest time of most seasons. I do not like the management structure of 1 manager 1 assistant and 2 part time key holder, I prefer a structure of 1 manager 2 assistants and 1 part time key holder.
