Tough environment with easy but mundane work

Pros

Easy work. Mundane tasks. Meh.

Cons

Customers treat you like crap, because of the bad rep of the company. The company treats you like crap and nothing more than the lowest of the low scum on earth. Hours are horrible when you get them. No guaranteed shifts. Crap basically. But it paid money I guess.
