Pros

ridiculously inexpensive health insurance, great employee discount, quarterly profit sharing. library style "check out" of items, staff members have hold shelves for items they want to purchase or check out at a later time.

Cons

low wage, starting wage was .75¢ above minimum wage. have to deal with dirty old books that might be moldy or have mouse feces or cat pee or other unidentified substances on them. people who sell their things can get angry about the offers made to them, and sometimes are a suspicious. (trying to sell stolen books)

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
