Pros

For PT work: Flexible schedule Good pay (especially for a student) Meet a vast variety of people from many backgrounds Learn how to think and make decisions quickly Learn to micromanage Free training and opportunities

Cons

VERY fast paced Can get hectic when your OSP and Manager are out and you are the only one there to answer 4 phone lines and handle 5 walk-in customers. Expected to pick up every aspect quickly despite having no formal training, being thrown to the wolves. Lack of communication. Almost none trickle down effect
