Best thing
Some colleagues are nice, hard working and fun to be around. Supervisors are understanding.
Worst thing
Managment lies, acts as they care, but they don't, monthly salaries are underpaid - promises to be paid on the next month and when the next month comes, new mishaps are there and you never know if they paid all your hours. Too much overtime, according to contract - you have to stay reasonable amount and be flexible for them,while they pretty much abuse your hours.
