Pros

Close to home. You can come to work and sleep, watch movies on your phone, do absolutely NOTHING the entire time you are there and management does not care. But don't get caught actually doing your job; they may move you to another post and completely change your schedule.

Cons

Living paycheck to paycheck (barely) because they don't pay a livable wage. Management lets certain people do what they want to prevent people from complaining about the management. Adults acting like preschoolers because they did not get their way or they got in trouble. Extremely frustrating when you are an employee who comes to work and does their job and anything asked of you and you do it without problems, but you get moved because you complained that someone doesn't do their job. I only started with the company because I needed the money. Its not much money but I need it. I really wish I would have never accepted employment.

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.
