Pros

- Decent pay of $15/hr - Flexible Schedule - Office work environment can be relaxed and friendly for the most part (depending on what type of work you do specifically and opportunity to make friends there) - Not hard to learn and do the job (though people have different learning pace) - Can get a 401k plan - Potentially can be promoted from within to work full-time after being there for a certain amount of time (have to apply the full-time jobs online)

Cons

- Hours are not enough despite being a part-time job - Unfortunate that the opportunity to get a stock plan for associates was removed when minimum wage increased to $15/hr - Good amount of down times, so you may get bored when there is nothing to do - Picking work shifts may be tough when the shifts are open to all associates to pick (though many associates tend to drop shifts during the week so you may pick up shifts during the same week or same day) - Communication between associates and management/leadership is not exactly transparent

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
