Pros

Better than minimum wage, overtime

Cons

You have to stand. No sitting, no leaning. I was told if your feet are tired, just walk. Like wow. The MBTA can sit in their booths all day on their phones and we have to wait for it to be above 90 degrees just to be allowed to STAND in the booth for 10 minutes every hour. No sitting. You sit on breaks and breaks only. I picked 4 days a week yet got 6 days. I would love to work more if I was allowed to sit, but after a couple days, I need break. So if block by block reads this. Let your employees sit. This is why turnover rate is so high. We need union. Why am I standing in the heat while the MBTA gets paid more for being in a nice booth sitting on their phones.
