Pros

Good money for the part time job it pays for high school students. You get to work with a variety of people both young and old. Also, you get a nice employee discount and you get to play with toys here and there. Apart from that, there's nothing much more to say.

Cons

Christmas season, you work til around 2am. Closing the store and doing inventory was the worst part of the job. The managers don't really have any sort of training program in place. It's learn as you go. Promotions are solely dependent on how much brown nosing you can do in a week.

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.
