Pros

Excellent employee discount, friendly atmosphere, very flexible work schedules. Great place to work if you just need some extra cash or are a student

Cons

Good luck getting a raise as a part-time employee, even if you've been there for two years. And good luck becoming full-time, because they can't pay you, but expect to be asked to work full-time hours as a part-time employee

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
