Pros

It is a job so it is better than nothing. You are told by management to approach every guest and talk to people so that can be a pro or a con depending on your personality.

Cons

You are constantly nagged by management to get customers to sign up for loyalty cards and credit cards and are never praised for selling. I started at 8.50 an hour and minimum wage is 8.00 and the annual raise is only around 20 to 30 cents a year. The hours are usually a con because you will always be scheduled on Saturdays unless you are a full time employee. Full time employees usually get what I considered to be the best shifts: weekday mornings and Sundays.

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.
