Pros

friendly and helpful, good social climate, flat hierarchies, good benefits, cheap lunch options, environmentally and socially conscious, managment is very personable and down-to-earth (e.g. met Mikael personally and he treated me, as a low-level, part-time employee, with wonderful respect and warmness; same goes for the lower bosses)

Cons

things can get extremely hectic and sometimes information doesn't get through --> communication break-downs happen quite often; rather chaotic in general

Pros

Double pay on weekends and holidays Time and a half after 6pm Some ability to choose own schedule/ set preferences

Cons

Can be hard to get hours, especially if you only have a weekend contract Schedules come out very late There is no opportunity for growth I was told that I would not be considered for a shift leader position because I had a higher education level and they did not believe that they could count on me staying with the company very long. 3 years later, I am still an employee, though I only work weekends during the summer and some shifts during the holidays.
