Pros

Pays a good amount above minimum wage and they are definitely not afraid to pay you overtime. Managers were very sweet. If I had kids, the discount probably would've been cool.

Cons

Training was extremely rushed. Customers completely suck the life out of you, more than any retail job I've ever had. If you work seasonal, kiss your family goodbye until January 1st. I made it clear I was a student and only wanted 20 - 25 hours a week. I consistently was given 45 hour weeks, most days being 10 hours long. No amount of speaking to HR resolved this and was often met with answers like "You'll just have to wait til we hire someone else", which never happened.

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.
