Pros

It has great hours and the people are great... well lets say the coworkers, pay is decent although they claim that they want to pay well to get better employees (but that is only for sales people - any higher up employees do not get paid enough for the work they do). It is a fun place to work, how can it not be with toys and baby gear!

Cons

They stretch everyone too thin. They try to get one person to do multiple jobs losing focus on their main priorities. You cannot give 100% to two jobs. They are scrambling to save money but in the long run it costs them money. The job ends up taking over your whole life, but they say they don't want you to do that so when you stop they yell at you for not getting all your work done. It is a lose lose.

You can likely do better than Magic Beans, and I suggest you do.

Pros

-Coworkers are very supportive, it is a very accepting and close knit community. -Good communication with sales employees at other stores. -A real dedication to excellent customer service, but they protect their employees from abusive customers. -Pretty comprehensive benefits.

Cons

-Both upper management and the store managers can be very bi-polar in responses. Sometimes they are extremely supportive, other times they are overcome with panic about falling sales and take it out on the store staff, when they are already working at 200% due to being short staffed. -There is a noticeable tension among office staff that spills over into the stores. -Rather than hiring people to fill positions when employees leave, they will push the responsibility onto another employee and reprimand them for not successfully juggling two or three jobs for the wage of one.
