Flexible with shifts and times

Cons

- Drama hunting coworkers - Low IQ management including the area managers - When you hit a target, they will make you do even higher numbers and take advantage of you. - Will gaslight you into thinking you're not performing well in order to squeeze out more work from you. - Lazy coworkers who check their phones all day and will boss others around
