Pros

friendly and helpful, good social climate, flat hierarchies, good benefits, cheap lunch options, environmentally and socially conscious, managment is very personable and down-to-earth (e.g. met Mikael personally and he treated me, as a low-level, part-time employee, with wonderful respect and warmness; same goes for the lower bosses)

Cons

things can get extremely hectic and sometimes information doesn't get through --> communication break-downs happen quite often; rather chaotic in general

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
