Pros

Annual two weeks' pay bonus after two years of employment, even for part-time employees; Generally flexible hours; Not half-bad pay for entry-level, short-term employees

Cons

Measly 1% annual raises, barely matching inflation; New-hires hired at higher wages than long-time employees; Neglible advancement opportunities; Absolutely no more than 30 hours a week part-time, with some weeks even less than 30 hours; Rude customers, though this is likely to be incurred anywhere

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
