Pros

Typical job in which 'sales associates' work the floor (includes shelving, organizing, assisting customers in one department) aside from front-end support jobs lead to extra pocket money. The work itself is not terribly hard and those willing to partake in the holiday shopping season will certainly welcome the extra hours. Hours & availability are all negotiable, though some instances they will not be able to accommodate. However, for the most part (particularly in Wayne store), they will try to fit it to your schedule. Also, those working part-time will get discounts too. So if you're looking for certain boardgames, console games, books, gifts, etc, what better can it get! Also you can check out the clearance items after the season is over too.

Cons

Too many long hours. Christmas season is very hectic (need to be prepared mentally) and hourly wage is average for this job.

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.
