Pros
Better pay for a part-time job that doesn't require you to be on your feet all day (aka; retail hell). I used to work at GAP for $8.50 an hour, only like three scheduled shifts a week plus sales requirements were a bit demanding considering the economy so the hourly pay at Globe plus the bonus-per-save for a 16-hour week was pretty nice. Hours were consistent; I didn't have to worry about changing anything around as my schedule was the same every week. Good to balance work and personal life. Management helpful and nice, listens to suggestions made by employees. A nice work environment.
Cons
Not many opportunities to move from part-time to full-time unless they are really need full-time positions filled. Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck working PT. No benefits of any sort for PT workers. By itself, the job doesn't support me financially. Many people who work here have day jobs; I know a few people with three jobs including this one. As a conservation rep I didn't have too much knowledge of the insurance policies themselves so I feel bad sometimes for not being able to answer a customer's questions. When people call a company they expect answers right away. Somehow it came off that there was not enough steady communication between the different departments. I would get a few inbound calls from customers saying that they paid and they had spoke to a rep who told them this or that, and then somehow the payment didn't show through, or there was no follow up...?
