Pros

Some coworkers are fun to work with. They will allow requested days off if the request is filed at least a month ahead of time.

Cons

Everything else. The slackers are rewarded and the people that make the store run are the ones to get yelled at. They refuse to promote from within, instead hiring people off the street that don't know or even want to learn the job that other c urrent employees already know.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
