They treat me pretty well. My wage is a little higher than I was offered elsewhere. They pay a six percent match for my 401K and I even get 4 vacation days on a part time job. I've never heard of vacation for a part time job before. There's holiday pay too. Health insurance if available but it's expensive and has a $1250 deductible. Fortunately, I have health insurance through my full time job so it works out OK for me. There are other benefits too, like profit sharing. Nobody there ever bothers me or complains about my work.
They just let me do my job. Oh, and I get a discount too. The savings add up.
