I can't seem to think of one! Oh, free housing! But it isn't free. I work my butt off for that

Cons

Everything! We never have enough supplies. They just want money, they don't care what the rent out to people. It's disgusting. The building manager literally told me to reuse sheets of they're not that bad. Like, what? Not to mention, they call me like 5000 times a day!
