Pros

A very friendly work environment. You feel like your get to go to work and play all day! A variety of positions throughout the day to break up the monotony.

Cons

They had/have on call scheduling so your set to call in at a certain time to see if they need you. This made it very difficult to have a second job as on days your weren't scheduled you still might need to call in and 99% of the time they don't need you. You are only scheduled maybe 15 hours a week so a second job seems very necessary but when asked if they would be understanding instead you get "we are your first job we will not entertain scheduling requests for a second job.
