Pros

Hours 10 months of the year aren't bad. Customers aren't bad until around Christmas time.

Cons

I am divorced. I get my kids every other weekend. 48 days a year. If I didn't specifically request time, I got MAYBE 6 of those days off, and NEVER both unless i took personal or vacation time. Even though the other assistant would have been willing to work opposite weekends with me. NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. I did not hang out with the Manager and the other assistant. So I was never "trustworthy" to them because I did not break company policy with them... HR Does not take complaints of any employee at any level seriously.

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.
