Pros

Great health benefits and 401k, profit sharing. Salaries not very high, but there was much opportunity for upward mobility. Great vacation, sick leave, and maternity/ paternity leave.

Cons

The company mentality changed. They stopped hiring books sellers that new about books. They stopped being family oriented, and wanted to hire employees who would focus on the store first before anything else. I was told that people pursuing degrees or with outside interest would not be hired.

Pros

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

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