Free meal each shift I guess.

I’ve gotten paid late multiple times, they cut my hours for calling out a couple time for valid reasons, and failed to properly train me

Best thing
I work with a good team, which makes the job a lot less stressful and more fun. I don't really feel like I'm working when I'm at work, and time flies.
Worst thing
I'm struggling to make ends meet with the rise of rent prices, grocery prices, etc.
