Pros

It's a good pay, you get the employee stock option, quarterly inventory bonus, Christmas bonus, the co-workers are good people, and some of the customers are pretty decent.

Cons

no health coverage for part-timers unless you work an average of 30hrs per week, but at the same time, they have to keep your hrs under 30 in order to keep the system from placing employees on full-time status automatically, major favoritism among management toward certain employees

Pros

The retirement, all through company stock is great, and the job security is fantastic especially in this industry.

Cons

The retirement is fantastic, but as a dept. manager expect to fill in for your employees when they call in sick. If an employee calls in sick you have to work the extra hours, because its impossible to approve overtime. So when an employee wants an extra day off they just call in sick, but as a manager you will never use your sick time unless you are on your death bed or with a serious illness. That is a great benefit if you do get really sick, but what good is it if you get burnt out working sixty to seventy hours per week, then they tell you that you don't know how to manage your time!
