Pros

- Usually chill - Tasks are relatively easy to complete - A LOT of downtime - Flexible hours/shifts - Ability to choose days to work

Cons

- Management (or lack there of) - little to no care about part time employees - Questionable competency of upper management - Blatant favoritism towards "golden child" employees - Poor marketing strategies - HEAVY reliance on paper ad that gets thrown out every week - HEAVY reliance on emails - Horrible/Non-existent HR - Conflicts DO NOT get resolved - If you are seasonal, you will NOT get a raise despite if you retain the knowledge - Extremely strict corporate rules (only applies to part timers) - A LOT of downtime (you will get bored) - Selling TEMU level products - It takes a stupid amount of stuff to get disciplined - One person in management leaving the company throws a wrench throughout the ENTIRE DISTRICT

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
