Pros
Somewhat flexible hours during summer and early fall. Nice products
Cons
The workloads are completely impossible to do in the time allotted. The only way to get the job done is to go well over the assigned hours (which is not allowed), or work off the clock. The most ridiculous requirement was the seasonal resets, which occur at the start of every holiday. Part-time merchandisers are expected to remove and discard the hundreds of remaining cards, put out all of the new product, set up several sidecaps, sideracks, and displays, all in one day. This is impossible for one person to do in one day, even though it is all supposed to be done in a few hours. On the few occasions where management sent a helper, it still took 8 hours to complete. I never went over hours at this company, and my department wound up being a wreck. The only people getting the job done are getting help or working off the clock. It's just not worth it working so few hours, for so little pay.
