Pros

*working with kids *you get to interact with probably some of the best co-workers that you will ever have *you get to play and get paid for it *regularly get 'free' gifts from the company both on your annibearversary and at Christmas

Cons

*doing parties regularly (they do get redundant) *don't get paid quite enough *parents that scold you and and tell their children that they can't get something so you are the bad guy *no one leaves! Yes, this is a good thing, but it also makes it so that you can't move up in the company until you have been there for at least 3 or 4 years
