Best thing
I like some of my coworkers
Worst thing
Consistently understaffed. Not like 2 or 3 people missing, like 8-12 people missing on a day to day basis. Impossible to get time off without talking to the manger in person and he is never there when I’m there and I don’t have time to go in when I’m off.
