Waterpump pulley

I'm replacing my waterpump because I think its bad. My question is should I replace the pulley too? The guy at the parts store said that they should be replaced together. Do the pulleys have bearings in them or something? Just curious why I should replace it.

I have no issues with Autozone but, if there is someone telling me false information to increase sales. Pass.

I can walk to Orielly or Advance from my house, 4 blocks either direction.
If I can plan my vehicle service, I'll order from rockauto, summit, ebay or ANYwhere but than having to deal with the local sh-tholes.
