Pros

It's a fun job. You don't stand around folding clothes or flipping burgers all day. You get to help build bears, dress up during launch weekends, and interact with children.

Cons

If you're not a huge fan of children, I wouldn't recommend working here. While not every customer you help is a child, most will be. While this is a fun job, it's also a very tiring job. You spend the day hosting parties, building bears, and helping customers. This job will keep you on your feet until your shift is over.

Pros

30% normal discount 50% during Christmas

Cons

Horrible company that is poorly managed from top to bottom. Union busters, don't stand up for employees safety, will defend awful customers and even reward them.
