Worked as part time merchandiser for almost year.
Pros
You work alone in store and rarely are you invaded by management. The stores are pretty friendly and helpful - Best Buys.
Cons
Hours are added and cut at supervisor's whim with no employee contact to confirm schedule can be met. It just shows up in computer calendar and schedules can change for that day while you are working it, but you don't get a call to say so you find that your day was extended or shortened when you log out for break or at end of previously scheduled shift. Also if you don't make it into a store on a program day you are still expected to log into system and answer surveys as though you were there. If you have ethical issues with falsifying information your hours get cut for noncompliance. Part timers are treated like dogs when it comes to the schedules to cater to full timers, regardless of needs or schedules agreed at time of hire. No good deed goes unpunished!
