Pros

The customers, the crew, and the peacefulness of the community. The fact that u can rely on the crew and other managers in a tough situation to pull it together and keep it right.

Cons

Being short handed due to call outs, no shows, crew quitting, and lack of people on schedule. Trying to handle extra tasks when short and more responsiblities so u dont run ur crew into the ground.
