Pros

The work environment was cooperative and accommodating, with flexible work hours and decent OT pay during the holiday rush. Great management.

Cons

The employee areas sucked the soul out of me with how sterile they were. Ancient "Happy Birthday" plastic table cloths in lonely rooms with concrete or linoleum floors. Not a carpet in sight. It's the little things, I guess. The customers were almost always fantastic to work with, but one holiday season there was a parent who was adamant we look in the back for a white version of a black La La Loopsy doll. It threw me for a loop, and took some effort to humor her.

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.
