Pros

Flexibility. Staff discount. Friendly staff.

Cons

20% discount is good but this is pretty much the only benefit afforded part-time staff. Yes, we get sick time accrual etc., but that is state law. We all get the chance for discount for meals, but only in RI. How about sharing some of the benefits like the company condo in NH? I'd love to be able to utilize that option if available.

Thank you for sharing and we love hearing from the team. You will be seeing some exciting benefit offerings beginning in April. PT associates working 20 hours or more will receive paid life insurance. All associates will have access to a fully paid Employee Assistance Program. We do give PT associates more than the state requires. PT off, sick, and personal time. Also access to auto discounts, vision insurance, and dental insurance. All the same as FT.
