Pros

- Something different to do every day - Friendly co-workers (same level as me or "below" me) - We don't have to sit at a desk behind a computer all day long

Cons

- We work 52 hours a week but are only paid for 40 hours - District manager does not answer e-mails - No praise for a job well done - NO weekends off unless on vacation - Hard to even get 2 days off in a row - Raises are capped at 2% - This is not a fair wage for the job that we do - Many rude and "rough" customers to deal with, especially depending on the neighborhood. I have been spit on, a customer tried to punch me, and it can just be dangerous sometimes

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
