Pros

M-F with Sat Sun off The cons outweigh the pros

Cons

Great boss when I was first hired. Then that boss was transferred and everything went to crap. The assistant who worked there took over but he was more concerned about himself and his own situation than with being a leader. Then he was transferred thank goodness. Then the District Managers took over being in charge while they looked for a new manager. The new manager they hired is incompetent, someone who doesn't know how to do most of his job, and who has pissed off and damaged relations with the client where the account is. They hire you for a full time job then cry they can't afford you and want to cut your hours. The company brings in 10 billion plus but tries to cut hours of an employee making $12 to $14 per hour.

Pros

Different interactions with different people. Although these challenges were hard to overcome, they were overcome eventually and these interactions were great.

Cons

To work through them in the small schedule. Although it all worked out great in the end, thankfully for that.
