Pros

Working here is a lot of fun. There are excited kids bringing stuff to the register, we get really cool items in the store and some interesting candies as well. The 20% discount is nice, but is mentioned in most reviews here. If you can maintain any energy for a long period of time, this is a good job for you.

Cons

HOURS. The company doesn't give enough hours to have their company run efficiently, especially when they want their employees to care about the store (not at 5-15 hours a week). The children, while cute, often have parents that let them run amok through the store, making PLENTY of a mess. The resets seem random and don't really look to have much of a purpose when the back of the store is being reset (I can understand having the NOW section updated every few months as seasons change and back-to-school starts, but the back wall and craft sections don't really seem to be important. It only detracts time from employees who could otherwise be maintaining store appearance and customer relations).
