Pros

Benefits, flexible schedules, holiday pay and overtime

Cons

I was set up with a interview recently and interviewer was a No-Call. Email seems to be unreachable. This is the 4th time. Rude staff during initial orientation. Failure to pay OT/Holiday wages in professional timely manner. Poor interpersonal communicational skills between staff and management. Incompetent managing staff. Office is completely out of sync most times.

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.
