Can be great

Pros

some people really get excited over the tastings, so it can be fun. solid benefits, which is a big reason some of the older folks work there, and I think to qualify you only have to work 20 hours a week.

Cons

unless your schedule is set in stone, you might end up with some really weird hours and from week to week it may be hard to adjust. there is a strange discord btw full timers and part timers bc they frown upon fraternizing; although you make friends and will want to hang out, it's a "no no." your day could depend directly on how much went on the shift before; so, if there was a "cool" supervisor before that let everyone slack off, it could make for a rather hectic day.

Pros

Flexible hours and scheduling; responsibility and growth within company is encouraged; diverse job assignments mean not doing the same thing all day every day; great coworkers, customers, and managers.

Cons

Not very intellectually stimulating or challenging, strict corporate rules and regulations (being on time, breaks, pay, benefits, etc), have to wear a company uniform, low hourly pay w small raises only every six months.
