Pros
We get all the major holidays off, its great to be able to spend time with family. We also are closed on Sundays, which is great time to enjoy and prepare for the new week. The company cares its employees so much that we even have a huge summer social and we close the branches to be able to enjoy that day. I love working in a grocery store, because I can still be a full time student in college and still receive my full hours. My supervisors are very flexible with the schedule and meet the needs of everyone.
Cons
Being part time, we don't get any benefits. Not being able to get paid time off is not beneficial for part timers, its restricts them to not be able to even ask time off. Also not receiving health insurance can take a toll on part timers. If we get sick, our managers ask that we get a doctors note for calling in sick. How can we visit the doctor if we don't have insurance. I am a college student and I know that I can't afford a visit to the doctors when I am sick.
