Pros

Bonuses, good pay, supervisor is not harassing you to reach metrics and goals, the colleagues are reachable and very helpful

Cons

No steady schedule, 12 hour shifts by yourself standing up all day with a 30 minute 'break' that you almost can never take, schedule is not posted with anticipation or they can change it last minute making it hard to make personal plans or appointments...sometimes I get 5 shifts straight with just one day to rest....the company and the colleagues are great but as a floater you have no work-life balance.

Pros

Part time is easy and almost no responsibility. Part time means you choose your schedule

Cons

1. Sometimes they treat part time people like they're full time while refusing to promote them. 2. Ever changing management. Every 6 months your manager is up for a transfer and they probably will be moved. 3. It's hard to get fired so if you work quickly and do your job well, you'll be expected to pick up everybody else's slack. 4. Store managers often forget that they don't have the skill to run certain departments. 5. They rush you into training and try to push you through to finish so they look good. 6. If your manager doesn't like you personally you won't get a raise above 25 cents. 7. Store managers and department managers often butt heads and then nothing gets done. 8. Watching new people with no experience come in full time after you were promised full time and then you don't get it because the new person took your spot "to get bodies in the door"
