Pros

I worked for 2.5 years part-time in the Imaging department. My managers during that time were wonderful, I felt I was fairly compensated, and there was flexibility with my university class schedule (I switched between 3 different shifts a total of 4 times with no difficulty). The holiday and summer parties were very fun and a chance to meet other employees. Free coffee, cereal, and fruit available all day, discounted meals onsite, and discounted massages available onsite once a month for each employee.

Cons

Many of the benefits that were available for part time employees I was told about during the orientation process were phased out almost right after I was hired--the one I was most excited about was the gym reimbursement, and that was no longer available to me almost immediately after hiring. I was also unable to enroll in the 401K program because for some reason you could only enroll after the age of 21.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
