Pros
Part-time employees receive all the same benefits of full-time workers (exception: disability insurance). Co-workers are nice and there are good social activities. Nice kitchen and lounge w/ free coffee & tea. Convenient downtown location near bus, metro and train.
Cons
Big speeches from managers and higher ups but employees not valued. Compensation low for the work required - must be fast and accurate. Must be flexible with schedule; even though part-time schedule is booked in advance, be prepared for holidays where you have to work extra days. Office environment is poor - small cubicles, dilapidated chairs, dim lighting. I feel like I'm working in a small broom closet. Depressing - you just want to get out of there! Depending on the supervisor, you need pre-authoriz. if you want to be paid for working 15 min. overtime to finish your payroll.
