Pros

You tend to have fun, and it's supposed to be a happy place. It's lively, and they let you dress up sometimes. There a lot of people your age too.

Cons

They can be shady with hiring, and dismissing employees, a lot of unknown drama goes on behind the scenes. They also tend to low ball you on how much they pay. It's not such a laborous, but some customers treat you very badly because of the fact that you work in a toy store, and it gets hard on you mentally. It's stressful.
