      The people you work with are like family. You work with a collection of different characters so your day is always entertaining! It's a good starter job

      The company don't care about there staff. Wages is shocking! You can only reach a certain pay rate and then it stops regardless of how long you're there! Your really just a number ! No bonus ever, no worth while incentives! If ur a 12 hr contract your expected to just be free at the drop of a hat to come in !
