Pros

You will always have shifts to work and if you are a union member then even better for you. They have benefits which is good and they have lots of buildings you can easily cover shifts

Cons

The management should be more considerate on their workers . The account managers try as much as they can to avoid you taking vactions. They will prefer you overwork yourself and they pay you the money. They will do everything possible to avoid you having overtime especially as a full time worker. This makes them to deny people vacation time because they try not to pay overtime to cover for vacation.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
