Pros

Easiest job ever, especially for the pay.

Cons

Going above and beyond will be your downfall. Being a hard-charger will only wear you out as there's never any incentive or reward for doing more than your job. Self-satisfaction will only go so far since they'll look at you as the "dependable" worker, and the entire workload will fall onto you while others can hardly do the bare minimum. There's no genuine appreciation outside of a scripted "we thank you for you hard work." The saying "people don't quit their jobs, people quit their management," rings incredibly true here since management has a knack for making the easiest job in the world incredibly difficult.

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.
