Pros

Includes a lot of benefits, health insurance (PPO), prescription drug coverage (PPO), dental/vision(HMO), 401k (2% match and scales to 10% by seniority), stock options, and discounts for electronics (apple, dell, lenovo, microsoft, rosetta stone), cell service (AT&T, Verizon, T-Moble, Sprint, I-Wireless [Kroger wireless] ), and a bunch more. it also adds others constantly. you can get this all as a part time worker (30hrs a week, which usually takes about a year to get).

Cons

it pays minimum wage. it has raises for everyone based on job step, which is a system in which the wages raise on increasingly greater amounts of money, but also time until the next raise. the raises are small and it takes roughly 5 years to top $12 an hour.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
