Pros

• Opportunity to work independently due to frequent understaffing. • Fast-paced environment that develops multitasking skills. • Reliable scheduling in the sense that employees can expect consistent workload increases.

Cons

• High workload with no additional compensation. • Extended work periods with little to no breaks, sometimes exceeding 20 consecutive days. • Understaffing issues requiring employees to work alone, increasing stress and safety risks. • Limited career growth as promotions are based on personal favoritism rather than performance. • Evaluation criteria based on appearance rather than skills or contributions. • Inconsistent promises regarding pay raises and professional development. • Lack of mental health consideration, with burnout and stress dismissed as non-issues. • Employees are expected to function like machines—opinions and emotions are not welcome.
