Pros

Pros: Reliable weekly pay and decent rates. Uniforms are provided by the company, and the majority of coworkers and building staff were nice and trouble-free.

Cons

Management & Scheduling: Very poor. Having a drivers license means they will overextend you and send you everywhere. Work Environment: Some assignments are less than ideal. There is a lack of professionalism at certain posts (inappropriate boundaries/views). Safety/Culture for Women: It can be tough to be taken seriously. Because you are required to stay at your post, you can feel trapped when dealing with overly forward or unprofessional individuals.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
