Pros

Great environment and some of the best customers. There is a book loan program so you can read new and bestselling books immediately.

Cons

The opportunity to advance is very slim, even between districts. Payroll is almost non-exist so managers end up becoming booksellers.

Pros

Easy job, great coworkers, kind customers

Cons

Too many products we're expected to sell. Membership, monthly picks, book of the year, Mastercard. The expectation that we should be doing well in all these categories especially during the current economic climate is very unrealistic
