Pros

Pay Coworkers Benefits, 401K, Paid time off Free drinks

Cons

Strict rules and writeups over weird small stuff Overstimulating enviroment with headsets during peak Sometimes you don’t get breaks when its so busy. That’s bogus! I don’t care if it’s busy. Shifts and managers need to keep track of breaks. Not fun to have to beg for a break. Understaffed at times
