          Cons

          Prepare to do A LOT of overtime and not be compensated in any way for it Expect everyone to give you a ridiculous amount of tasks that are impossible to be finished or completed with the little staffing they give you or the hours in the day you have to complete tasks

          Advice to Management

          Pay your staff accordingly! Reward them for their efforts, they will feel valued. Don’t wait for people to leave to offer them more money or change things they’ve already brought your attention to.
