Pros

flexible scheduling, a good place to gain experience in a busy workplace

Cons

shift availability can sometimes be inconsistent, work can be physically demanding during busy hours, and staffing levels may occasionally make shifts more stressful. One hour is deducted from each shift for break time without compensation. Additionally, favoritism and unequal treatment among employees can sometimes be noticeable, which may affect workplace morale and overall employee satisfaction.
