Best thing
The amazing team of Ft that work with me
Worst thing
Pay is the worsed in any industry for the position (AGM). With you being expected to be on call 365 days of the year, for no extra pay. If you don't answer your phone outside of work hours your job is at risk meaning you can have no life away from work. Most management stuggle to sleep with fear that if they don't hear there phone they will be disciplined.
They state they care about your health and wellbeing, but when question about the fact you can not have a life away from work, they tell you it's your responsibility because your a key holder.
