Only drawback is if u decide to have kids... Being pregnant and at work for 10 hours can be tiring especially after 30

Is it just for the summer?
Would not affect any sort of advancement/promotion. It would be my year-round schedule. I could always go back to 5 day weeks if necessary.

I'm not planning on kids for a while...plus the schedule is very flexible...if I wanted to switch it back to 5 days/week, I could.

I'm not paid hourly. Even if I was, I'd have 20 days of sick time and 10 paid holidays...so I would get paid regardless.

So you would work 9 hours and get paid for 10?

I believe 7:30-5:30 is 10 hours so if there is lunch in there, I'm not seeing it.

Sounds like a sweet deal. I wish I could do it.
