Pros

You get to create your own schedule and go at your own pace. You can plan as many parties as you want.

Cons

There is always a push to be full time, even if you started out as part time. You have to sell a lot to get your discount.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
