      Good Part-Time Job

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This was a really good part-time job while I was in school. Everyone was friendly and the job itself was kind of fun.

      Cons

      Sometimes it felt that part-time employees were considered "second class citizens" and left out of a lot of company policies.

      Good and Bad

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great industry and mission statement. Great brand awareness and positive public image. Some nice perks (free breakfast, wear jeans, etc.). Competent leadership

      Cons

      Culture focused on growth more than on people development, or cost management. Because of private equity ownership, it is highly levered.

      Good place to get experience and get out

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are pretty good and you get ample time off.

      Cons

      The benefits seem to get worse each year and the upper management and execs find something new and shiny to switch to before we even get the original product or toolset figured out. There is always a constant feeling of being in limbo. Pay is generally low for the area and work experience.
