Vantaggi
If you work full time, hours are typically guaranteed. Pay is consistent and I haven't had issues getting paid. Uniforms provided to you. They always have positions open. Insurance isn't too expensive and you can always opt-out of it the next year
Svantaggi
This is for my current account (others may vary): MANAGEMENT. Excluding my first. While my immediate shift supervisor is great, management above him sucks. They go through 2nd shift sups like Harry Potter Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. > They ignore requests for simple things (new floor mat, a locker in the isolated gatehouse, filing cabinet instead of plastic wall mounts that are too small) or do the parental 'I'll see what I can do.' > Instead of trying to work with everyone or consolidate information, upper management prefers to send out 'nasty-gram' emails that bomb the entire workforce with useless information. > They are so hands-off that most officers at my location don't bother with issues until you literally can't ignore it anymore (usually because something broke). > Second shift and overnight are practically ignored- if you're not working in a cube next to them they don't care. > No upward growth (stingy policy on new supervisors and all have been hired outside of the account no matter that we have people here on site longer) and you may as well quit instead of trying to transfer accounts.
