Monday through Friday schedule, no evenings, paid holidays. Salary can be decent if you have put yourself in a position to negotiate with your DM or RM. If your operation is running smoothly, and your client is happy, you will probably never see your DM or RM.
Svantaggi
The amount of paperwork is astounding. I could actually spend all day at my desk doing safety stuff, corporate CYA paperwork, CHAT training, surveys, etc. It NEVER ends. Then, once you think you have caught up, they add something else for you to do on a weekly or monthly basis. It is very much a "thrown into the fire" type of learning experience.
