    Discount

    Worst thing

    Some managers can treat you poorly and with disrespect and the stress levels are extremely high with no chance of breaks if you work only an evening or morning shift, even if you work 6+ hours

  • Best thing

    The people I work with.

    Worst thing

    Everything. No breaks or 5 minute breaks for over 10-12 hour shifts. The managers have no respect for you. They do not care if you have worked over 9 hours with no break, especially if it’s busy. If you are sick at work they do not care and refuse to send you home.
