Pros

1. Consideration of availability while assigning shifts. 2. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons

1. Miscommunication: - For the longest time after being selected I didn't know that I was selected and I was job hunting like crazy because the emails meant for me were being sent to someone else by mistake. - When I did get the hint, I emailed and called multiple times but didn't get a clear response, so I had to go to the store to clarify things. - During the interview I was told that I am being hired for a seasonal role, but in my offer letter, I was categorized as a 'permanent, part time' employee, and I was treated like a seasonal - I received my first paycheck after more than one month of being hired because of a silly technical issue which no one had time to check and resolve - A day before my last working day, I received an exit form, with no effort of conversation about the termination, and disregard of my effort to have a conversation 2. Low wages 3. Insufficient hours 4. No proper training: You begin with an online training, which is the perfect example of what is called 'information overload'. Then you get a practical training of 5 minutes and are expected to excel in the role.
