Pros

Great benefits; access to lots of different books, CDs, DVDs and other media; yearly raises and other perks. As far as a retail environment goes Half Price Books is the best job I ever had.

Cons

Lack of consistency in training when it comes to the buy counter-although it would be difficult I wish that more firm buying procedures were enforced. Also, at least while I was working there, the store database was pretty rudimentary and not always accurate, making searching for customer items a bit frustrating at times. I feel the company was behind the times when it came to technology, at least while I was working there.

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.
