Pros

Supportive and friendly team with a positive work culture. Corporate environment but flexible scheduling, which worked well while attending college. Overall great management and a pleasant atmosphere for part-time employees.

Cons

Occasional micromanagement from a few employees, though this wasn’t a major issue and may have changed since.
