Pros

Good discount 401k match for part time

Cons

They don't value or try to retain experienced employees. The amount of work and lack of labor and time are a consistent and constant issue. Employee training had turned into a trial by fire style when departments are overloaded with work they grab anyone to jump in resulting in errors and more work for other departments to correct combined with unhappy customers. Pay raises are dismal, especially if you've been around awhile. It's better to quite and get rehired at a higher rate (which has happened.)

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
